Overview:
As more and more organizations automate business processes with solutions like fax servers, the mountains of paper are replaced by a sea of data and an ever-increasing number of machines to handle the data. The resulting explosion of hardware and digital information can create operational nightmares for business managers and IT professionals alike. Where do you store all of the data? How do you back it up? How can you achieve green objectives with so many computers that need to be powered and maintained? What happens if a critical server goes down?

Virtualization software products such as VMware, Hyper-V and Xen have emerged as powerful tools to answer these challenges by running multiple applications and increasing hardware utilization. At the same time, IP-based fax servers have been gaining predominance over conventional solutions, with sales growing at a rate of over 50 percent according to fax industry analyst Davidson Consulting.

To address the expense and inefficiency of traditional faxing, fax server solutions such as Esker Fax leverage boardless fax technology and virtual machine software environments offer compelling cost and administration time savings by:

• Seamlessly integrating with existing Voice over IP systems
  
• Streamlining enterprise IT resources
  
• Consolidating network infrastructure
  
• Increasing hardware flexibility
  
• Minimizing your carbon footprint
