The future of Telephony in the business
world will be a converged data and telephony network. All
on premises and branch office telephony will most likely migrate
to IP based systems over the next years. Local LAN, VPN or
in some cases even the public Internet will be the new means
of transporting voice.
Features like Voice Mail, conferencing, ACD, general and local
AutoAttendants, and any other services are all well supported
by the new IPBX solutions or combinations of SIP server and
the Mediaservers.
In the above example the IPBX solution is based on 2 servers
for maximum scaleabilioty, one server for the PBX and one
for the Mediaserver (Voicemail, Auto Attendant, conference
server and Music on Hold.
For redundancy and in order to create a virtually fail proof
system a second backup proxy / SIP server can be configured
to take over in the event that the primary system is offline.
ABP has a wide list of partners in this space
and products range from shareware and openstandards based
solutions all the way to sophisticated Enterprise systems.
For VARS in need of building a custom solution
snom technology's 4S SIP server can be used to build a IPBX
solution from scratch. The snom 4S SIP server is proxy &
registrar and the core intelligence of the system. The snom
4S Mediaserver provides full conference bridges to both IP
and PSTN calls when a Gateway is available on the system as
well as allows mixed IP and PSTN conferences.
Please check the snom4S
solution for more detail as well as the IPBX
partner pages.
