Hardware installation
Overview of the SBM
The HP MSR Survivable Branch Communication Module (SBM) powered
by Microsoft Lync™ is a branch office survivable voice server for the
Microsoft Lync solution.
The HP MSR SBM is an HP MSR application running on a HP MSR Open
Architecture Platform (OAP) Module. The module is installed in an HP
MSR 30 Series or MSR 50 Series Router at the branch office.
The HP MSR SBM includes a Windows Server 2008 R2 that runs as the
base OS. Running on this server, is a Microsoft Lync Server 2013
Survivable Branch Appliance that integrates with the main office
Standard or Enterprise Lync Server Pool and handles services for the
branch office.
The HP MSR SBM provides survivability; if the WAN connection to the
main office data center fails, the HP MSR SBM routes all calls over its
public switched telephone network (PSTN) connection.
The HP MSR SBM is managed through an easy to use Web browser
interface. The Windows Server 2008 R2 OS running on the module can
also be accessed with Remote Desktop.
