Why upgrade to Zetafax 2010?

What’s new in Zetafax 2010?

Zetafax 2010 adds support for Office 2010, including integration with the new Backstage view and toolbars for simple, one-click faxing directly from Microsoft Oulook, Word and Excel:

• Microsoft Word and Excel:
• Send fax – providing a visible method of sending a fax, particularly for users who are not aware of the Zetafax Printer and print-to-fax- behavior.
• Add embedded commands – simplifying the process of automating fax settings or recipient details when sending a fax.
• Microsoft Outlook:
• Send fax – providing a clear helped form to ease sending a fax without having to use a specialized syntax on the standard ‘compose email’ form.
• View fax – providing a specialized form designed for viewing faxes received using the Zetafax email gateway.
• Preview and release fax – enabling the user to check how a fax will appear before sending, without having to revert to the Zetafax client.
• Set default options for sent faxes – providing a simple method for users to customize behavior without requiring administrator intervention.

Zetafax 2010 also adds support for Exchange 2010, installing as a native connector within Exchange that is registered to handle the FAX address type. This native integration means that users can send faxes to contacts stored within Outlook, using the standard fax number fields. Products that use SMTP to integrate with Exchange generally require duplication of contacts so that the fax number can be stored in the email field, which is avoided with Zetafax.

A new version of the Zetafax FoIP Connector is supported by the new version, providing an alternative to using Brooktrout SR140 technology. This now provides two options for the FoIP Connector; the SR140 Edition which provides the highest levels of performance and interoperability; and the Standard Edition, providing a cost-effective solution for companies wishing to use FoIP with specific T.38 gateway units.

Zetafax 2010 adds support for the latest release of VMware ESX and ESXi (version 4.0) and the VMware vSphere suite. It also provides support for Microsoft Hyper-V with Windows Server 2008 R2. This provides a range of options for organizations planning virtualized server environments. Read more about fax virtualization.

Zetafax 2010 provides significant performance improvements to FaxBroadcast, including load testing with batches over 100,000 faxes and 200 fax lines. Initial batch load, submission and reporting times have been reduced to improve usability, and system throughput has also been improved.
