Fax Server

Increasingly, fax servers forgo telephone lines entirely in favor of “Fax over IP”, which sends faxes over an IP network. Using Fax over IP can save a company significant costs, as the company no longer needs to pay for multiple dedicated telephone lines and multiple physical fax machines.

True Benefits

Some benefits of having a fax server are obvious for example paper savings, toner savings, time savings and lower traffic congestion at the office fax machine.  Other benefits are being able to print or reprint fax only when needed and the often overlooked ability save faxes the same way you save the other data your business produces – back it all up!  When you have a fax server the faxes received are just image files that can be stored and referenced later;  back them up the same way you’re already backing your important data – tape, optical or removable disk, on-site or off-site – add them to your current backup solution!

The FaxFinder® fax server is an all-in-one fax server that provides distributed faxing capabilities, over a WAN, from a corporate office to small remote offices as well as to field sales people. Inbound faxes are converted to PDF or TIFF files and delivered to a recipient’s in-box or a network folder, or printed on a network printer.
