HP Survivable Branch Communication zl Module powered by Microsoft Lync

Product overview

HP Survivable Branch Communication zl Module (SBM) powered by Microsoft® Lync provides survivable branch services, such as external phone call capability, while sustaining internal peer-to-peer communications when the data center cannot be reached. SBM combines Microsoft Lync survivable branch application and software from HP, including a public switched telephone network (PSTN) to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) gateway, a graphical user interface (GUI), management interfaces, and an application programming interface (API) to the switch itself, all of which are integrated on a module that fits in the chassis of HP E8200 zl and E5400 zl Switch series products.

Application highlights

Powered by Microsoft Lync — SBM is a key component of a complete Microsoft Lync Server 2010 infrastructure, integrates Microsoft Lync software, and can be domain joined to the Microsoft environment; the solution provides branch users with the ability to communicate and collaborate in the event the data center communications servers cannot be reached; all services that are peer to peer within the branch remain operational, including instant messaging, video, desktop sharing, and voice
Integrated media gateway support — SBM allows additional media gateway modules that can be installed in the PCIe slots; support for 1, 2, and 4 E1/T1/J1, 4-port FXS/FXO, as well as 2-port FXS/2-port FXO combination is available; the modules are equipped with world-class DSP hardware to achieve carrier-grade echo cancellation and voice quality enhancement functions for telephone systems
Survivable solution — during loss of connectivity to data center (for intra-branch) IM, video, desktop sharing, and voice calls are directly routed over the LAN; inter-branch/intra-company calls are automatically routed over the PSTN; inter-company voice calls are routed over the PSTN; for voice mail, SBM automatically "hairpins" the call to auto attendant on a data center's Exchange UM server; when SBM is offline, endpoint clients automatically register to the main Lync server in the data center
Toll bypass and least-cost routing support — during normal operation, SBM supports toll bypass and least-cost call routing; every PSTN gateway in the enterprise is available for placing outbound calls along the least-expensive path
Powerful management interface — SBM is shipped with a powerful management tool that provides a dashboard with a single view of operation and single place for configuration modifications; the tool also provides flow-based, simplified installation, thus reducing deployment errors with confirmed correct operation; the tool validates media gateway settings and can test connections between Lync servers and the media gateway

Management

Front-panel RJ-45 management port — provides 10/100/1000 port for direct access to Microsoft Lync user interface and configuration

» Back to top

Connectivity

Two 10-GbE connections to the switch — features two internal wire-speed 10 GbE ports to the switch backplane
USB port — provides one external USB 2.0 port for application use; for example, external hard drives or other forms of mass storage
Integrated media gateway support — scales based on user demand, supporting up to 120 concurrent PSTN calls per SBM

Performance

High-performance processor system — Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9400 at 2.53 GHz, 4 MB cache provides a high-performance compute environment designed for a dual switch slot
Memory subsystems — 4 GB of DDR3-1066 dual-channel memory enables fast application performance
Disk drive — 250 GB SATA hard disk drive allows quick data read/writes to enhance application performance
Session capacity — each SBM supports up to 1000 registered users or endpoints, with up to 120 simultaneous PSTN calls; internal VoIP-to-VoIP calls only require minimal SBM processing during call setup and do not impact the number of simultaneous PSTN calls

Resiliency and high availability

Redundant power supplies — SBM has the same level of power supply redundancy as the switch in which it is installed

Ease of use

High integration — Microsoft Lync with media gateway and remote management comes preinstalled on SBM to simplify deployments; dial plan and endpoint configurations are automatically downloaded from Microsoft Lync and Active Directory servers in the data center
Reduced complexity — flow-based, simplified installation process with built-in testing facilities reduce deployment errors and help ensure correct operation
Locator LED (module) — allows users to set the locator LED on a specific module to either turn on, blink, or turn off; simplifies troubleshooting by making it easy to locate a specific module among other identical or similar modules; also provides status LED to view health of module
Simplified total solution — involves fewer boxes, cabling, points of failure, and points of maintenance; reduced space and power requirements provide simplified and efficient total solution
