YSTEM OVERVIEW
When using Server redundancy, network redundancy must be installed,
and bonding is the preferred option.
Virtualization - With the advent of cloud computing technology, the cost
of high availability, voice and data application hosting, content storage
and service delivery will be reduced significantly.
Cloud Computing broadens the horizons across organizational bound-
aries of "reusability of IT capabilities" which is the very fundamental prin-
ciple in cloud computing. To realize this computing paradigm, MX-ONE
has taken the bold steps in realization with its ability to employ Virtual-
ization.
With MX-ONE it is now possible to run MX-ONE Telephony Server and
its UC applications as virtual machines in a customer VMware environ-
ment. Thus, this capability has taken ad-vantage of integrating real time
communications as a service in the cloud environment. More importantly
with MX-ONE using VMware Virtual Appliance, virtualization is
supported and provides an alternative to MX-ONE's Resiliency and High
Availability Solution.
Furthermore, MX-ONE can optionally be installed as a Soft switch
without any hardware based media gateways for pure IP environments.
True Mobility - Mobility is a concept and a way of working, not just a
method to forward your calls to your mobile device.
Aastra offers true mobility where a user is provided with the same
services, the same access to corporate resources from any telephone,
anywhere, connected to any network.
A user has one telephone number, one mailbox and is handled as one
individual, irrespective of which terminal (or terminals) he is presently
known to use by the system.
True mobility allows the user to log-on to any authorized telephone
whether it is a local or remote IP device, an analog telephone connected
to any network or a terminal on a DECT or WLAN infrastructure on the
corporate premises or in public hot spots. True mobility is a native solu-
tion of the MX-ONE and no external servers or applications are required.
Aastra furthermore, offers the Aastra Mobile Client (AMC) which can be
installed on terminals using, RIM Blackberry, Google Android and Apple
iPhone devices, with no feature differences among the smart phones.
The BluStar ecosystem furthermore provides mobile users with video
services through the video capable client for iPad and iPhone.
An in-house Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) solution allows seamless
hand-off of calls between WiFi and cellular networks. Mobility is often
costly, in particular for users that are travelling around the world. The
AMC offers advanced routing functionality, GPRS call back and travel-
ling SIM that can reduce the cost for international roaming with up to
90%.
