Mitel Partners Expand Support for Virtualised Unified Communications in Asia Pacific Markets

Mitel has announced a ramping up of their local support offerings across Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand. The move has been prompted by strong customer interest in virtualised unified communications solutions.

Mitel, a leading provider of unified communications software solutions, announced today an expansion of the number of accredited Mitel partners offering implementation and support for virtualised unified communications solutions, with local support available across major Asia Pacific markets.

Mitel has partnered with VMware to provide businesses and government agencies with the ability to host Mitel voice and unified communications applications on VMware vSphere™ 4. The open Mitel Freedom architecture enables this unequalled virtualisation solution allowing organisations to break free from the "walled garden" vendor model and design a communications network based on best-in-class technologies aimed at reducing the complexity of ongoing support and administration.

Mitel accredited partners specialising in virtualised unified communications solutions but offer implementation and support services in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and India. Should the contingency arise to Asia Pacific countries, Mitel solutions are as well available in Japan, South Korea, and Greater China.

Greg Fletcher-Harris, managing director of Data Mobility Voice, a Mitel premierPartner based in Australia commented, "We introduced Mitel virtualisation solutions to our portfolio less than six months ago, and have already deployed 10 implementations. Interest from customers in Mitel's pure software virtualised solution is strong, and we think many organisations will move away from proprietary IP-PBX (Private -Automatic- Branch Exchange) hardware platforms."
