Facsys Foundation is an evolution of the robust Facsys 4.91 Fax/Routing Gateway that users have depended on for years. It continues to deliver the outstanding performance you have come to expect with the added benefits of new functionality and increased scalability.
How Different is it from Facsys 4.9 / Facsys 5 Enterprise?
Facsys Foundation is based on the tried and tested Facsys 5.1 Enterprise code. A completely transparent migration to the robust SQL Express database is just the start of the list of changes in store for existing Facsys 4.91 users. No additional database components are required to be installed - the installation takes care of it all.
The same familiar administration tools are used to setup and configure the server. Take advantage of the free monthly training to get up to speed on installation and configuration of Facsys and management of all of the new features.
Facsys 5.1 Enterprise adds functionality, scalability, management and redundancy features.
Upgrade Path from Facsys 4.9?
Facsys Foundation is an in-place upgrade to an existing Facsys 4.91 installation. Administrators will have the choice of allowing the installation to set up its own local SQL Server Express database or select from an already installed instance. All user profiles, routing and archiving settings, metadata and images will be automatically migrated into Facsys Foundation.

Notes:
• For optimum performance, it is recommended that the Facsys Fax Server be operated on a dedicated physical or virtual server. Please note that this is not a software requirement.
• Facsys should
not be installed on the same server as the Microsoft Exchange Server, particularly for server-side rendering of attachments. Rendering requires additional server CPU resources and memory which will impact server performance.
• Facsys Foundation fully supports deployment on Microsoft Windows 2008 Server. Please note that the complete fax server solution is subject to the availability of Microsoft Windows 2008 Server drivers for fax devices/FoIP software deployed along with Facsys Foundation. Currently Dialogic Brooktrout TR1034 and SR140 and Facsys FoIP have such drivers available.
