Moving from manual faxing to computer-based, network faxing represents one of the most cost-effective, productivity-enhancing improvements available to organizations in fax-intensive industries. Network fax servers provide a secure way to integrate faxing into office, workflow and messaging applications. Processing fax jobs more quickly, accurately and inexpensively than any standalone fax machine, network fax servers contribute to:
- Enterprise-wide fax consistency
- Reduced communication costs
- Streamlining of paper documents into electronic workflow
- Accelerated information delivery and turnaround time
Sending a fax with a network fax server takes less than one tenth of the time sending a fax manually does. In fact, the higher the fax volume, the more money, time, and resources a fax server can save. In some cases, fax servers can even enable companies to grow their business ? expand the client base, for example ? without having to hire additional staff.
Which Castelle Fax Server Is Best For You?
Investing in a Castelle fax server is like providing everyone in the office with a virtual fax machine, at a fraction of the cost. Whether you go with a fax server from the FaxPress, FaxPress Premier or FaxPress Enterprise product lines, and, from those product lines, which fax server model/configuration you choose, depends on a number of variables. The fax traffic capacity requirements, type of telephony interface (analog or digital), and production/custom fax application and integration requirements all help to determine the most appropriate fax server for the organization. Whether or not you require the FaxPress Premier/Enterprise expanded feature set, which includes a web-based faxing and administration utility, may also influence whether you choose a server from the FaxPress, FaxPress Premier or FaxPress Enterprise product line.
FaxPress Product Line Overview
The FaxPress product line provides analog fax servers for small and mid-size organizations. The FaxPress servers range from an entry-level, single-line unit to a higher-end, eight-line server. The FaxPress fax servers come with FaxPress 8.x server and client software. The FaxPress server software is installed on a network file server or workstation. FaxPress uses the network file server or workstation (NetWare, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Linux) to queue up outgoing faxes and store incoming ones. Although actual disk requirements will vary based on the volume of incoming/outgoing faxes, the minimum requirements for disk space on the file server is 40MB.
FaxPress Premier and FaxPress Enterprise Product Line Overview
The FaxPress Premier product line provides analog fax servers and are designed for mid-size to enterprise-level organizations. FaxPress Enterprise provides digital fax servers for use with T1, E1 or ISDN lines. Both the FaxPress Premier Analog and FaxPress Premier Digital fax servers include 80 GB of file storage for system and fax data files, a multitasking embedded Windows operating system, and come with all system files and the FaxPress Plus 4.x server software pre-installed. Installing the FaxPress Plus client software is an option, but not a necessity, since the web interface allows access to both faxing and administrative functions from any workstation with a web browser.
