Ensim says Unify Express, based on Ensim Unify, enables service providers to self-manage the provisioning and monitoring of their deployments while lowering the cost of support. With Unify Express, the company says, small and medium-sized service providers can start competing in the growing Exchange space and generate new revenue streams.

Unify Express features pre-certified infrastructure interoperability, advanced resource management, delegated administration, service provisioning and upgrade simplicity.

"Ensim Unify Express responds to a strong demand from hosters who are interested in launching a Hosted Exchange solution with limited resources and need to leverage the benefits of an automated service enablement platform," says Kevin Farrell, senior vice president of strategy and product management at Ensim. "With Ensim Unify Express, hosters can now participate in the rapid growth of Hosted Exchange services with the ability to seamlessly upgrade to the full version of Ensim Unify to deliver multiple services."
