Amatix Office 2.0
Description
Amatix Office is a complete communication platform for small and medium-sized businesses. It provides email, calendar, contacts, conventional telephony like ISDN, new generation VoIP telephony like SIP and more other features needed to power a business.
Amatix Office is very easy to install and use and does not require any special IT skills. It is a live software appliance which runs directly from the CD or USB Flash drive. You don't need to install any software, just plug the Amatix Office CD/USB Flash in the CD/USB drive and let the computer boot from it. In few minutes your office server will be ready to run, with the software and the hardware, including the telephony cards, automatically configured.
System features
- Amatix Office follows the Plug-and-Play concept. It will automatically detect your hardware and will configure the software accordingly. The default configuration is suitably for the most use cases.
- Amatix Office is flexible. It was designed to automate the hardware and software setup, but it also gives the possibility to change their behaviour. For example, although Amatix Office provides the standard telephony features, you can easily redesign the phone calls routing using an easy scripting language, whithout taking care about the technology behind.
- Amatix Office is persistent. You can store the data on the USB Flash drive or on the hard disk. You can any time switch back to the factory defaults by unplugging/unregistering the storage device.
- Amatix Office is scalable. To improve the perfomance, the software services installed on Amatix Office can be spread over the network on several machines running clones of the Amatix Office appliance.
- Amatix Office is easy to deploy. The graphical user interface (GUI), which can be started/stopped on demand, contains all tools (web browser, partition editor, ...) needed to launch the server, so there is no need for a second computer, which must be connected to the customer's network, to configure the server. If the server has a sound card (ALSA compatible), you may use the installed SIP softphone, which is preconfigured for the administrator account, to place and receive calls, without any additional hardware.
- Amatix Office is based on Debian Linux distribution, so you can install additional software from the Debian repository.
