Add-on appliance simplifies IT management and reduces costs
Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of
unified IP business communications software and services, has released Interaction
Edge™, a combined gateway, media
server, and SIP proxy appliance designed to streamline enterprise IP
telephony deployments.
Interaction
Edge™ provides gateway capabilities enabling
connections between traditional trunk lines and voice-over-IP networks,
and adds media server and SIP proxy functionality in a single appliance.
By combining functionality onto a single appliance, enterprises and
contact centers can simplify IT management and reduce costs, according
to Interactive Intelligence chief marketing officer, Joe Staples.
"Following our overall product strategy of an all-in-one approach to
communications infrastructure, Interaction Edge™ gives
customers a single appliance to manage instead of multiple devices,"
Staples said. "Interaction Edge™ also provides the
advantages of hardware redundancy for disaster recovery and remote
administration, making it ideal for distributed organizations, including
those that use our cloud-based communications-as-a-service delivery
model."
Interaction Edge™ is designed to work with the
Interactive Intelligence all-in-one IP communications software suite, Customer
Interaction Center™ (CIC), which gives mid-size to
large contact centers and enterprises applications such as interactive
voice response, automatic call distribution, multichannel recording,
predictive dialing, unified messaging, and more.
The Interactive Intelligence media server offloads the CIC application
server by handling all audio processing for improved reliability and
performance. Its SIP proxy helps to more effectively route calls between
servers in enterprise IP telephony environments for increased
operational efficiencies and remote survivability.
The gateway capabilities of Interaction Edge™ are
available in one, two, four, and eight-span increments for flexible
scalability.
Interaction Edge™ is currently available in North
America and in many countries throughout Latin America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, Australia and New Zealand. It's offered through the
Interactive Intelligence channel of more than 300 resellers worldwide,
and through its direct sales force.
