Why upgrade to Zetafax 2009?

Zetafax 2009 Service Pack 1 released

Support for the Zetadocs Server and Client running on Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

Support for Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 – the Zetafax Server and Client can now be installed and run on this Small Business Server 2008. This includes support for optional server components, including the email gateway.

Support for Zetafax Server with Terminal Services – the Zetafax Server (excluding the email gateway) can now be run on a computer which is also used for hosting Terminal Services sessions for network users.

Improved support for internal numbers – internal numbers can also now be used on systems configured to use TAPI or Zetafax dialling rules, and the Zetafax server can now be configured to treat short fax numbers as internal numbers automatically.

Support for line access settings when using TAPI dialling properties – Zetafax now supports dial prefixes stored in TAPI, enabling different access codes to be specified for local, national and international calls.

Support for rendering of Hebrew bi-directional text and other bi-directional text languages with Document Rendering add-on (DOCTIFF)

Businesses planning virtualized server environments can enable the Zetafax server in the same environment to provide protection against computer hardware failure. The Zetafax server can be moved onto another physical computer quickly and easily, avoiding the need for a separate failover server just for fax.

Zetafax 2009 supports VMWare servers using VMWare ESX or ESXi 3.5. The full server feature set is supported, so users are unable to distinguish between a server running under VMWare and one running on a native operating system.

Zetafax 2009 includes a Fax over IP Connector (chargeable add-on) which provides an efficient way to integrate a fax server and phone systems. Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems can be used for faxing directly, saving the cost of installing separate phone lines for the use by the fax Server. Zetafax also supports a range of media gateways that will manage the communication between the PBX and the IP network via T.38 and enable conversion from T.38 to T.30 for communication over the PSTN, enabling compatibility with traditional fax machines.

Zetafax 2009 includes version 6.0 of of the Brooktrout drivers, released in December 2008, which extends support for Brooktrout TR1034 and Trufax boards to the following operating systems:

• Windows Server 2008, 64-bit version
• Windows Server 2008, 32-bit version
• Windows Server 2003, 64-bit version
• Windows Server 2003, 32-bit version
• Windows XP Professional

Zetafax 2009 includes support for Citrix XenApp 5 (the successor to Citrix Presentation Server 4.5). This has the same functionality as for Presentation Server and Windows Terminal Services, enabling users to run the Zetafax Client as a terminal server application and to send faxes from applications running in a terminal server session.

This means that companies can migrate to XenApp or move to a terminal services applications with no loss in functionality.

Zetafax 2009 improves support for systems with larger numbers of fax devices.

For systems with Brooktrout, Eicon or other CAPI boards, the time taken to start the Zetafax Server has been significantly improved. This change will reduce the startup time by several minutes on larger systems, which in turn reduces the time that the system is unavailable to users after a restart, and reduces the time for the administrator when performing maintenance on the system.
