It is now possible to migrate enterprise fax services to a virtual server platform with the Imecom Virtual DM Fax Server.

Architecture
The Imecom Virtual DM Fax Server utilizes the Dialogic Brooktrout SR140 virtual-mode fax board software and therefore can be implemented in a virtual server environment. The SR140 software replaces the traditional PCI-based fax card with virtual fax board software. Fax traffic is routed over IP to an T.38 compatible IP-PBX or VoIP gateway - for free. The SR140 software is compatible with many leading IP telephony and VoIP equipment vendors, including Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, Siemens, 3com, AudioCodes, and Dialogic.
