With 3Com® V6x00 Integrated Branch Communications Platforms, large enterprises can extend the benefits of the 3Com Convergence Applications Suite to their smaller work sites—those with up to 100 phone users—and connect to the PSTN through integrated gateway modules. The V6000 platform supports both analog PSTN and analog device connectivity. The modular V6100 platform supports E1/T1 connections to the PSTN or existing legacy PBXs. Both models enhance resiliency through optional redundant power supplies or RAID hard drives.

V6x00 solutions let branch office workers enjoy the same VCX IP telephony and IP messaging features and services available to headquarters staff without concern about service interruptions. Should there be an IP WAN failure, the platforms are designed to continue to deliver all features, ensuring that staff can still make and receive calls and maintain effective customer service. Using the same secure VCX Linux operating system as the V7000 platforms, the V6x00 series also incorporates an integral firewall.

In addition to the platform's high-value security and resilience, V6x00 systems offer easy installation and centralized management. To allow simple and rapid deployment or replacement and minimal requirement for on-site skills, 3Com architecture enables remote V6x00 platforms to auto-configure themselves from centrally held databases. Regardless of how many servers are deployed, all configurations can be managed centrally, ensuring the lowest operational cost for administering tens, hundreds or even thousands of remote sites.
