An IP Telephony solution designed and priced for 100-1000 users

System i IP Telephony Express offers packaged solutions containing the System i platform and IP telephony software and licenses from 3Com® — a leading supplier of secure, converged voice and data networking. These Express solutions are packaged and priced for 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 users - starting at $37,900 for 100 users.* System i Business Partners provide 3Com IP telephony handsets and gateways to deliver a total IP telephony solution.

High availability is critical to your telephony environment and, with System i IP Telephony Express, you have the freedom to achieve availability in the way that best suites your environment. The four Express solution packages listed above are available both with and without a secondary System i platform. If you have an existing System i platform to use as a back-up system, you can optimize resources and purchase the base Express package. However, if you want a complete stand-alone solution — or do not have an existing System i to be used for back-up — you can select an attractively-priced Express solution with the secondary system included.
