Extending the Role of the Data Centre
LONDON, July 27, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
A new Whitepaper Examines the Benefits of Centralising the Delivery and
Management of Voice Services From the PSTN, and Role the Data Centre has to
Play in This.
Resilient Networks plc and BroadGroup, international consulting
specialists, today announced a new joint whitepaper focussed upon extending
the role of the data centre and how, for the first time, larger businesses
now have a choice to select the level at which they integrate with the PSTN.
In looking to consolidate all critical ICT services into the data
centre, CIOs have often been constrained by the limitations of the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Whilst their private voice network may
bring modern centralised IP voice services to allow inter- and intra-company
calling, calls made from the PSTN to their private networks have had to
follow a fixed, geographically dispersed, delivery model - one that, until
now, has been at odds with their data centre strategy.
This whitepaper, Extending the role of the Data Centre, describes the
drivers supporting the centralised delivery and management of PSTN voice
services into the data centre. It explains the problems faced by large
multi-sited organisations today and highlights how they can benefit by
moving away from shared PSTN access infrastructure to a dedicated and direct
connection with the PSTN.
It provides specific examples of how organisations have successfully
extended the PSTN Core Network to the enterprise, which removes, rather than
replaces, the PSTN Access Network. One of the user examples analyzed in the
whitepaper found that as the solution is rolled out to its 6,000 employees,
savings of up to 40% on line rental and call charges are expected.
"Delivering voice services through the data centre rather through the
local office, offers reduced costs, increased agility and resilience,"
commented Steve Wallage, managing director of BroadGroup Consulting.
Andrew Bale, CEO, Resilient Networks plc, added, "Our work with
BroadGroup has shown growth in demand from larger businesses looking for a
dedicated interconnect between the public voice network and their private
network. The data centre offers the logical way to achieve this."
The whitepaper includes detailed user interviews, case studies and
market analysis to examine these growing trends and assess how vendors,
operators and users should respond.
