Resiliency Boosts Confidence in Conference Capabilities

摘要

With the technology transition to voice over Internet protocol and the underlying transport shift to Internet protocol, a new methodology can be used to deploy a completely resilient distributed command and control voice conference. The technique removes the participants' physical location associated with conference devices and allows Internet protocol capabilities to self-heal by redirecting callers to services that survived a threat. Distributed command and control voice conferencing has traditionally been susceptible to the resiliency of the physical location that hosts the voice conference. In a distributed voice conference, multiple physical locations host conference participants and are interconnected through a physical transport such as T1. If a single physical location is disabled, the participants are removed from the conference and the distributed conference potentially is isolated from other distributed conference service nodes.
