Reportlinker.com's New Research on Disaster Response in Dynamic UC Infrastructure

Reportlinker.com has published a new marker research report entitled “Ensuring disaster recovery and business continuation in a dynamic UC infrastructure.” The highlights of the report include SIP, virtualization, and how the cloud enables new paradigms in disaster response and readiness.

When organizations try to migrate from traditional time division multiplexing (TDM) private branch exchanges (PBX (News - Alert)) to Internet protocol-based (IP) unified communications platforms a big change in the communications network architecture has to be expected.

While organizations try to implement the new communications platforms a reassessment of existing disaster recovery and business continuity (DR/BC) plans becomes imperative. The new technologies in a unified communications (UC) environment are more resilient and feature a flexible infrastructure when compared to legacy deployments. However they require a different approach to recovery, explained officials.

The technologies that are leveraged in enterprise communications such as VoIP services, server virtualization, and hosted or cloud-based solutions can easily reduce the time taken to recover from any event of breakdown with minimal data loss.

The report showcases such market insights which include the advantages, opportunities and problems that are associated with ensuring business continuity and disaster readiness that can occur in dynamic unified communications networks.

SIP trunking has been found to enable dynamic DR/BC options to ensure an IP-based alternative for both analog and digital primary rate interface (PRI) services used to connect private, service provider and public networks. SIP trunking services will soon serve the communications link to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) for UC platforms. Also SIP trunking allows capabilities that are required to deal with disaster recovery and business continuity.

As SIP trunking is based on Voice over IP (VoIP) its sessions leverage a business data network and not physical connections as used by analog or PRI circuits. Also voice calls can be delivered around points of failure on the network or in the customer premises. This is relevant even in metropolitan or regional outages. The SIP trunking services deliver multiple tiers of failover options according to the size and scale of a deployment, revealed the report.

Reportlinker.com also published a new market research report titled “Cloud-based mPayments are creating immediate business opportunities for mPayment service providers.” According to the report, the value of transactions over mobile devices is predicted to grow exponentially over the next five years in Europe.
