Enstratius was originally founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2008.  Its stated mission is to assist organizations and businesses in the management of applications across public, private, and hybrid cloud hosting services.  For those unfamiliar with this new method of storage, “cloud computing” is a term that refers to the ability to share computerized, hard/software resources in a “cloud” (an online storage space) rather than in an in-company computer server.  Among the many platforms supported by Enstratius are VMware, Windows Azure, Rackspace, OpenStack, and Amazon Web Services.  Actually, cloud storage enthusiasts will be excited to know that Enstratius products can run on just about any type of infrastructure.

Tom Kendra, vice president and general manager of systems management for Dell Software, shared this sentiment in an official press release:

“As enterprises increase their use of public, private and hybrid clouds, the need for controls, security, governance and automation becomes more critical. Dell, together with Enstratius, is uniquely positioned to deliver differentiated, complete cloud-management solutions to enterprise customers, large and small, empowering them with the efficiency and flexibility in the allocation and use of resources.”

For three decades, Dell has been one of America’s leading technology and computer companies.  Dell is renowned for its achievements in the international technology industry and its superior customer service, as well as the successful Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of impoverished urban children around the globe.

Although there’s been a lot of recent grumbling about Dell’s decision to go private, it’s hardly the only major news the company has put out in this year.  In groundbreaking news earlier in the year, CEO Michael Dell partnered with globally-known tech investment collective Silver Lake to privatize Dell Inc.  The company also acquired the award-winning high-profile data protection solutions company Credant Technologies before securing Enstratius under its belt as well.

With Enstratius on board, the professionals at Dell will definitely be adapting to some new technologies, service interfaces, and consumer questions.  And, as their customer service call centers, already reputable for their attentiveness, accessibility, and effectiveness with customers, rely heavily on the use of headset communication devices, nobody understands their growing pains and needs more than those of us here at Headset Buddy.  Congratulations to Dell on its latest victory; Headset Buddy is here to help out in any way possible.

Lets take a closer look at some of our “Featured Products.” The PC Headset to Telephone, Office, or Home PhoneRJ9/RJ10/RJ22 Headset Plug Adapter is five inches long and converts 3.5 mm mic/audio plugins (standard headsets) to RJ9, RJ10 or RJ22 headset plug (standard). This adapter will enable you, for instance, to connect a computer or laptop headset to an IP phone. The Headset Plug Adapter is designed to be used with 3.5 mm plug-applied headsets; one is used for the microphone and the other is used for headphones or earpieces. Binaural sound is output for stereo headsets using the adapter (i.e. hearing sound with both ears). Originally priced at $39.97, it’s now just $19.97. This Headset Buddy is a low cost accessory that can update office phone systems and significantly increase users’ comfort levels.

Another top product is the Binaural Noise Canceling Call Center Headset with Quick Disconnect Cables. I’d like to bring your attention to our Call Center Headset’s comfort, compatibility, clarity and durability. The headset is adjustable and weighs little, making it perfect for all day use. The quick disconnect cables work easily and allow the wearer to leave their station without removing their headphones. This is useful if the wearer is relocating to a different workstation and wants to use their own headphones. Users will also notice a significant increase in clarity during conversations, due to the ultra-noise canceling microphone, which is ideal for a busy call center. Finally, the rubber boom mic is flexible and the ear pad is replaceable, making the $70 investment necessary only once. The headset can be purchased either by itself (if the customer already has a QD adapter that works with their phone) or in a set with the phone-compatible adapter included. This is a must-get for call centers and telemarketing outfits.

Our third hot item is the Agent Buddy Training Switch Adapter for RJ9/RJ10/RJ22 connections.  This Switch Adapter allows for dual control. It has two mute buttons, duel volume controls, listen-in only or train/take over call functions, and it works with wired and wireless headsets. You can use it with Headset Buddy, Agent, Jabra, Plantronics, GN Netcom and Sennheiser headsets and it is compatibility with most telephones with an RJ9 connection. It is well known that side-by-side training is essential for any training program that supports call centers. The Agent Buddy Training Switch Adapter is $24.99, and allows for quick and efficient employee training.

These are just three of the many excellent products we offer on HeadsetBuddy.com. All of our products are EU RoHS Compliant and “Making the day easier” is just one of Headset Buddy’s many charms. A more dynamic and focused communication and work lifestyle awaits; just make friends with a Headset Buddy!

There are a few different models, such as one to work with Cisco phones, and another with Aastra, Avaya, and Nortel phones, so please check your phone’s specifications.

But this adapter isn’t limited to those of us with broken sound boards, it also works if you want to use your PC headset with Macs, or if you want to use it as a PS3 USB headset adapter.

Note that RJ9, RJ10, and RJ22 phone handset and headset plugs have four connectors, not six like RJ11 plugs. RJ11 is only used to plug the phone into the wall.

Be sure to see which of our Headset Buddy adapters fits your specific model of phone because thev have different wiring.

Cisco headset jacks have a slightly different wiring for the RJ9/RJ10/RJ22 plug. (RJ11 is not used for headset jacks)

PC headset to iPhone/Smartphone Adapter

We released a product last fall that combined two of our adapters so you could use your PC headset with your iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, or other smartphone. However, one issue was the users couldn’t get stereo sound by using the adapters in combination.

So we just launched a single PC Headset to 3.5mm iPhone/Smartphone Adapter that allows for stereo sound. So if your smartphone has a 3.5mm TRRS jack (most smartphones do), then this will work for you. For a full list of compatible phones visit the product site.
