NetVanta 7000 series to support both premises and cloud-based voice service models to enable greater flexibility for service providers and enterprises
Historically, voice deployments demanded purpose-built platforms to act as either a PBX or a gateway for cloud-based and hosted services. With the NetVanta 7100, this has changed. Now, service providers who previously deployed hosted VoIP solutions can offer alternate deployment scenarios. Those deploying premise-based PBX solutions now have the option to provide a platform that has a migration path to hosted services. By taking this approach, the service providers protect their existing investment in technology and resource support. In addition, for either hosted or premise based solutions, local survivability is supported. This provides the end users additional peace of mind when next generation communication technologies are deployed.
“Given the rapid rise of hosted and cloud-based voice service applications, as an alternative to premises-based PBX, a single hardware platform to address both introduces a new level of efficiency in scale and management to the market,” said
While the NetVanta 7000 series enables end-users with the ability to select different communication services and preserve network infrastructure – IP phones, switches, gateways, wireless access points – it also provides multiple benefits to service providers and the reseller channels that support these customers. Benefits for the channel include:
- Lower inventory carrying costs – With a single SKU for either premises PBX or hosted VoIP UC, resellers are able to carry less inventory and reduce costs.
- Competitive differentiation - Channel partners focusing on pure play cloud-based and hosted or premises based UC can now offer a migratory platform which supports both types of deployments.
- Reduced training cost – With the same equipment utilized for both premises and hosted scenarios, both sales employees and end users are able to undergo one training session for the equipment regardless of the scenario.
- Service diversification – Resellers can grow their practice with a single solution that supports the three most widely demanded communication infrastructures: on-site customer PBX, managed PBX, or hosted PBX.
