UC Hosted Demo LIVE:
The UC Hosted Trial is now open for business internationally!

The UC Hosted Trial is an online service managed by Unisys which provides customers an opportunity to trial Exchange Server 2007, Office Communications Server 2007, Office Outlook 2007, Office Communicator 2007 and Office Live Meeting without having to install any hardware. Any Microsoft employee can register their customer or prospect for the UC Trial. Up to 20 participants in a company can participate in the 30 day trial.

The signup site has been updated for international-based companies. Non-US based companies can try all the end-user capabilities of the UC Hosted Trial, with the exception of PSTN dialing. Due to legal guidance currently customers based in China cannot participate in the Hosted Trial.

In addition to international access, Federation with Microsoft is now enabled.

HP Sizing Tool for OCS 2007:

The OCS planning tool is designed to provide an estimation of the hardware requirements necessary to support various OCS topologies. The tool takes input from the user such as the number of users in a site, the type of OCS features and functionality, the desired server and storage technologies, and more, and generates a solution topology and associated bill of materials (BOM).
