Cloud Architecture

With the advent of cloud computing technology, the cost to provide high availability, voice and data application hosting, content storage and service delivery will be significantly reduced.

Cloud Computing broadens the horizons across organizational boundaries of "re-usability of IT capabilities" which is the very fundamental principle in cloud computing. To realize this computing paradigm, MX-ONE has taken the bold steps in realization with its ability to deploy virtualization.

With MX-ONE it is now possible to run the MX-ONE Service Node and its UC applications as virtual machines in a customer VMware environment. Thus, this capability has taken advantage 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 native Resiliency and High Availability options.

Furthermore, MX-ONE can optionally be installed as a Soft-switch without any hardware based media gateways for pure IP environments. In a virtualized environment, both the call server and media server reside in the same virtual machine and can benefit for VMware's High Availability options.
