Internap (News - Alert) Network Services Corporation announced that its Flow Control Platform (FCP) has been deployed by Teliax to improve its VoIP
network services.
Teliax offers VoIP solutions for homes and businesses improving network reliability. Internap’s route-optimization technology further offers Teliax with good QoS
and greater customer satisfaction said Internap in a press release.
Internap provides The Ultimate Online Experience by distributing applications and content of high quality and reliability. It helps customers realize greater revenues by giving them managed Internet services, a content delivery network (CDN) and content monetization services.
Increase in broadband Internet access and good quality VoIP services at reasonable costs will result in tremendous growth in the business VoIP market according to The Yankee Group (News - Alert).
Teliax is able to control network operations without more engineering resources using the Flow Control Platform (FCP). The FCP is capable of automating and accelerating engineering work for optimizing network performance according to traffic changes. Teliax has deployed 10 Gbps FCP appliances in cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and New York.
Border Gateway (News - Alert) Protocol (BGP
) used in the absence of FCP as a routing mechanism gives sub standard performance. The FCP however offers network management and monitoring on multiple Internet connections making it a better alternative to BGP.
David Aldworth, president and chief executive officer of Teliax said that his company is experiencing growth due to its customer service and sound quality.
Aldworth continued, “Internap’s FCP provides real-time monitoring, network intelligence and optimized routing
across multiple Internet backbones. This significantly reduces network latency and enables Teliax to deliver a high-quality business and home VoIP telephone service at a competitive price.”
Internap’s FCP offers network visibility and control over routing to Teliax so that it can provide reliable performance to its customers. Denver based Teliax caters to business and home customers offering telephone service through broadband connections from telecommunication and cable companies. Its customers are chiefly SMBs located world wide.
Tim Sullivan, chief technology officer at Internap said, “Internap is a recognized leader in optimizing the performance and reliability of the global Internet. Teliax’s innovative VoIP telephone solution is a great example of how Internap’s FCP can improve the quality and lower the cost of network-based services.”
