Montreal, Canada – (Marketwire – March 30, 2009) – Sagem-Interstar Inc. (Sagem Communications), the global leader* in advanced fax solutions for IP networks (www.sagem-interstar.com), has launched XMediusFAX Release 6.0 – the industry's first patented T.38 FoIP solution to offer comprehensive enterprise and remote branch office fax survivability capabilities.

Survivability of an increasingly business critical application like fax must be integrated within an overall corporate business continuity plan (BCP) that includes an assessment of the total cost of application downtime. With XMediusFAX 6.0, the IP fax server survivability solution can be cost-efficiently tailored to address a wide range of system availability and disaster recovery objectives consistent with the specific fax service downtime impact. Whatever survivability solution is selected, XMediusFAX’s fundamental scalability and security features are not compromised.

XMediusFAX software solutions are optimized to efficiently address the accelerating global TDM to IP migration trend, deliver enhanced productivity, streamlined operations, and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). These solutions address diverse fax deployment drivers ranging from increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, evolving infrastructure strategies (i.e., UC, ECM, ‘branch’ optimization), flexible application integration (ERP / CRM) to adoption of more economical, eco-friendly core technologies (i.e., FoIP, virtualization,SIP trunking) and versatile multifunction devices (MFDs).

Sagem-Interstar's XMediusFAX AXP Edition Fax over IP (FoIP) server software, the world's first fax solution to run inside a Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR), is gaining market momentum with several new customer wins spanning sectors such as healthcare, government, and financial services.
