The main advantage is the software which is also sold seperatly and can be used with your own server hardware. The installer will take a lot of tasks away from the Engineer to focus on the main work and it&#8217;s also Skype for Business ready, so it can not be compared with\u00a0other &#8220;more&#8221; or &#8220;less&#8221; efficient hardware appliances available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cloud-client.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ucboxsetup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1829 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cloud-client.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ucboxsetup.jpg\" alt=\"ucboxsetup\" width=\"353\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.cloud-client.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ucboxsetup.jpg 511w, https:\/\/blog.cloud-client.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ucboxsetup-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More will follow soon after some\u00a0more tests&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Cheers<\/p>\n<p>Michael<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Folks, today i got my first hands on the UCBOX coming from the german Vendor Bressner.
