NetVanta 7000 series to support both premises and cloud-based voice
service models to enable greater flexibility for service providers and
enterprises
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 19, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of cloud connectivity,
virtual mobility and enterprise communications solutions, today
announced a revolutionary voice migration platform that answers market
demand for multiple-voice deployment on an efficient single-solution
platform. Designed for service providers and enterprises, the NetVanta®
7000 family has a new software configuration that enables deployment of
premise-based PBX functions or cloud-based and hosted VoIP services all
with a single hardware platform. The all-in-one design for voice, data,
video, and wireless services creates business efficiency and
capabilities that today’s businesses need to remain competitive.
Historically, voice deployments demanded purpose-built platforms to act
as either a PBX or a gateway for cloud-based and hosted services. With
the NetVanta 7100, this has changed. Now, service providers who
previously deployed hosted VoIP solutions can offer alternate deployment
scenarios. Those deploying premise-based PBX solutions now have the
option to provide a platform that has a migration path to hosted
services. By taking this approach, the service providers protect their
existing investment in technology and resource support. In addition, for
either hosted or premise based solutions, local survivability is
supported. This provides the end users additional peace of mind when
next generation communication technologies are deployed.
“Given the rapid rise of hosted and cloud-based voice service
applications, as an alternative to premises-based PBX, a single hardware
platform to address both introduces a new level of efficiency in scale
and management to the market,” said Rob Arnold, program manager, Unified
Communications and Collaboration at Frost & Sullivan. “With the new
NetVanta 7000 series voice migration capability, ADTRAN is enabling
their channels to easily address end-user’s needs to migrate from one
type of service to another as their business demands.”
While the NetVanta 7000 series enables end-users with the ability to
select different communication services and preserve network
infrastructure – IP phones, switches, gateways, wireless access points –
it also provides multiple benefits to service providers and the reseller
channels that support these customers. Benefits for the channel include:
-
Lower inventory carrying costs – With a single SKU for either premises
PBX or hosted VoIP UC, resellers are able to carry less inventory and
reduce costs.
-
Competitive differentiation - Channel partners focusing on pure play
cloud-based and hosted or premises based UC can now offer a migratory
platform which supports both types of deployments.
-
Reduced training cost – With the same equipment utilized for both
premises and hosted scenarios, both sales employees and end users are
able to undergo one training session for the equipment regardless of
the scenario.
-
Service diversification – Resellers can grow their practice with a
single solution that supports the three most widely demanded
communication infrastructures: on-site customer PBX, managed PBX, or
hosted PBX.
“As the industry leader in IP Business Gateways, ADTRAN has extensive
knowledge of the various SIP trunking and cloud-based service offerings
that are present in the market today,” said Chris Thompson, ADTRAN’s
director of product management, Cloud Connectivity Solutions. “This,
combined with our experience in premises-based IP telephony, has given
us a unique opportunity to create a single-solution platform that is
well suited for all types of deployments. Service providers can now
support multiple deployment scenarios with a single platform. End users
can be assured that their equipment investment is protected as their
communications and business needs evolve.”
