SBS2011 requirements to implement Unified Messaging

We will soon be replacing our SBS2003 Standard server with a new SBS2011 Standard server. Also, we will be getting a new Voip phone system. We will start soon to meet with phone system providers to get proposals.

What are the requirements in order to implement UM in Exchange 2010 in a SBS2011 environment ? Is UM all included in the SBS2011 product, or do we need to install another Exchange server on the network or purchase additional types of licences (ex: Exchange Enterprise, etc) ?

Thanks

Thanks. A few more questions about the phone voice messages delivered to the user in his Inbox:

1) Where are the voice messages stored ? In the main Exchange mailbox store, or in another location ?
2) In which format are they saved (mp3, etc) ?
3) What average size should we expect for these messages, in order to evaluate the total space we will need

OK, no proble,.

They are stored in your mailbox. They appear as a voicemail message (see attached)

They are MP3 files, which is quite handy because I can listen to them on my Exchange sync'd mailbox using my iPhone :)

A 30 second file is 52kb (I just checked one) :)
