"Strata Messaging helps SMB users access Unified Messaging features and other services at an affordable price," said Richard Wierzbowski, Vice President, Telecommunications for Toshiba of Canada Limited, Office Products Group.

About Strata Messaging
Designed for SMB users, Strata Messaging is compatible with Toshiba's Strata CIX family of IP business communications systems, including the CIX40, CIX100, CIX200, CIX670 and CIX1200. It is ideally sized and priced to address the Unified Messaging needs of users of the smaller Toshiba VoIP systems, the Strata CIX40 and CIX100.

Strata Messaging supports up to 400 mailboxes and has 300 hours of storage. The base system package offers two voice mail ports and 10 seats of Unified Messaging. Additional ports and Unified Messaging seats can be purchased and licensed through Authorized Toshiba Dealers.

Strata Messaging resides on an external Linux-based appliance equipped with internal components designed for reliability. Since it is an external device, it does not use a full card slot in a CIX system; rather, it uses only a portion of an IP interface card leaving the remaining ports free for other applications. Strata Messaging connects to the Strata CIX through IP channels.
