When Inventive Labs was developing its innovative .NET (News - Alert) VoIP development platform, the company knew it would be fresh, new and successful, created from the ground up with the developer in mind, and structured without the inherent weaknesses of the .XML framework. The platform has many useful and dynamic features, from its efficient resource classes to its beep detector capabilities. Another area in which the Voice Elements Platform shines is in its flexibility of deployment.
According to the Voice Elements wiki and FAQ, there are three different deployment options for a Voice Elements-based application. It can be deployed on a company’s own server with the HMP Elements SIP Stack (which is included in the Voice Elements license). It can also be deployed through Inventive Labs’ Telephony Bank hosting service, which offers per-minute plans. Finally, it can be deployed on a server with Dialogic (News - Alert) hardware for traditional T1/E1 or analog environments, using a Voice Elements Server License.
Since VoIP is easy to use and cost-effective, many companies are looking to deploy their voice applications strictly in this way. Companies that use the HMP Elements SIP stack can be confident that the technology maintains the highest call progress analysis in the industry, while providing a powerful platform for outbound applications. It can scale easily, with the ability to handle from two to several hundred channels per server.
A second option for the deployment of Voice Elements is utilizing the Inventive Labs Telephony Bank, which allows Voice Elements-based applications to run at customer sites with Internet access or enables the hosting of a company’s voice solution on the Inventive Labs’ redundant infrastructure. It is a monthly service based on resource usage of an application and can provide an easier route to deployment and peace of mind regarding equipment, servers and the like.
Finally, Voice Elements can be deployed on Dialogic hardware for customers that want to use analog or digital T1 or E1 lines for their applications.
So, not only does the Voice Elements platform provide developers with a powerful and dynamic tool, it also offers flexibility in the manner of deployment. No wonder it has been such a success for Inventive Labs since its debut.
