Appliances
Survivable Branch Appliances (sometimes called SBAs) are a network element that is deployed at remote branch offices, facilitating survivability that allow continued operation by the branch in cases where the wide area network is disrupted or the centralized Lync server is unavailable. A critical need for the financial services, education and many other vertical markets, survivability allows phone to phone calling, access to E emergency services and other important functions during outages that would otherwise force the closure of the facility.
