Aculab Unveils ApplianX for VoIP Networks
By Spencer D. Chin, TMCnet Web Editor
Aculab (News - Alert) has launched ApplianX, a range of products designed for network infrastructure roles in the converged networks of enterprises and service providers.
Based upon the company’s Prosody X technology, ApplianX will include a range of voice and video IP
gateways, SIP trunking gateways, media servers and related equipment. The portfolio of products will be available in both enterprise class and carrier class presentations of highly resilient, scalable, high availability configurations, with capacities of up to 4 trunks in a single 1U server and 80 trunks in a cPCI, carrier class chassis.
According to Aculab, ApplianX is the solution to a dramatically changing market for hardware and software-based enabling technologies. The products offer a plug-and-play set of solutions to a number of network infrastructure tasks. They free the user from having to integrate a number of hardware and software products from multiple vendors and undertake extensive set-up and configuration.
ApplianX products share a number of common features that together contribute to a low total cost of ownership along with an exceptional return on investment. This includes the 19-inch rack-mount presentation, which eases installation and co-existence with other infrastructure equipment. An integrated HTML web server eases remote configuration and monitoring, adding support for SNMP, RADIUS, CDRs and event logging. Extensive standards compliance ensures maximum compatibility with other systems.
Resilience and robustness is assured by the use of replicated facilities in areas that are critical, or traditionally prone to failure: dual IP traffic interfaces; hot-swap power supplies; RAID arrays when hard disk drives are absolutely necessary; but otherwise using reliable solid-state Flash memory.
The first two products available are the ApplianX IP Gateway (News - Alert) and ApplianX VoiceXML Media Server. The ApplianX IP Gateway comes with 1, 2 or 4 E1 or T1 trunks supporting various E1 and T1 protocols and approvals, plus PBX (News - Alert) integration protocols DPNSS and Q.SIG.
The ApplianX VoiceXML Media Server is a deployment-ready, standards-based media service platform for service centre and enterprise installation that is able to attach to either TDM or IP (SIP) networks and execute applications written to VXML 2.0 and CCXML 1.0.
