NEC corporation has recently demonstrated its Unified Communications & Collaboration Platform software architecture (UC&C) for Rich Internet Applications and IT Architectures at the Enterprise Connect 2011 exhibition. The virtualized platform utilizes Rich Internet Applications to provide a collaboration solution for companies and their customers.
The corporation offers a broad spectrum of hardware and software products. One of the market segments NEC addresses is Enterprise Networks & Communication where the software architecture UC&C represents a part of the UNIVERGE family of products. UC&C targets IT managers and connected workforces as the insideCTI information portal reports.
According to NEC, UC&C is a
distributed IT services platform that operates on general-purpose infrastructure, provides open standards, and aligns with existing IT virtualization, cloud computing, security methods, directory structures, and application delivery models with easy operation and management
The new UC&C solution can be deployed on different platforms such as PCs or mobile devices. This is mainly achieved by open standards, an Java application framework, and a Flash-based RIA technology. Although, devices like the iPhone or the iPad do not support Adobe’s Flash, this shouldn’t be much of an issue due to future transition to HTML5, as Todd Landry, Senior VP of Product Management for NEC Sphere Communications, assures. By leveraging RIA technologies, desktop management for users and updates get simpler because of the Web-based deployment approach.
UC&C is supposed to be user-centric in that IT can assign different services and media resources to users depending on their roles. Users can log in to the system using a HTTPS-based security identification.
NEC has announced UC&C will be generally available later this year.
NEC提供许多硬件和软件产品,企业网络与交互是NEC所重视的市场领域之一,而软件架构UC&C则属于UNIVERGE家族的产品之一。根据insideCTI信息门户的报告,UC&C面向IT经理和互联劳动力。
NEC称UC&C是一个
分布式IT服务平台。它在通用基础设施上运行,提供开放标准,与现有IT虚拟化、云计算、安全方案、目录结构和应用交付方法对齐,是易于管理与运维的平台。
新UC&C解决方案可部署在不同平台上,如PC机和移动设备。这主要得益于开放标准——Java应用框架和基于Flash的RIA技术。虽然iPhone和iPad等设备不支持Adobe Flash,但是正如NEC Sphere Communication的产品管理高级副总裁Todd Landry所坚信的,随着向HTML5的转型,这将不是问题。通过使用RIA技术,用户的桌面管理与更新将变得越来越简单,这得益于基于Web的部署方式。
UC&C应该以用户为中心,这样IT就能根据用户角色向他们赋予不同的服务和资源。用户登录系统时使用HTTPS提供的安全认证机制。
NEC已宣布,UC&C将在今年下半年向大众开放。
