Enhancing Business Continuity with Hosted VoIP

Cypress Communications, specializing in hosted VoIP solutions, operates a national private network designed specifically for VoIP. The network, which has been engineered for 99.999 percent availability and local site survivability with no single point of failure, is designed to automatically detect potential faults and self-correct and is supported by redundant devices to ensure maximum availability of voice communications.

The hosted VoIP functionality is offered via distributed, carrier-grade, Nortel (News - Alert) CS2000 switching and Nortel MCS5200 multimedia platforms. The Nortel CS2000 located in Dallas acts as a central-office-grade switching platform. It is comprised of two identical hardware components that mirror each other at all times. Each half of the platform operates using distinct power supplies on separate power feeds and hence, in the event of any disruption or problem in the hardware or software component of the platform, its workload is assumed by its redundant counterpart without interruption to any process or call handling.
