Overview
Reliability is the most critical aspect of a business phone system. IP telephony systems will deliver differing service levels because their architecture is fundamentally different. Ironically, optimal architecture and design does not only deliver high reliability, but also produces a system that is easy to use and manage.
This whitepaper defines reliability and availability and then compares the approaches of various IP telephony vendors take to ensure high availability. You will see how the underlying system design and architecture dictate the type of redundancy that can be deployed to increase reliability.

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges. Moreover, in good times and bad, increasing regulation at the regional and national level is imposing additional duties and responsibilities on the public services without additional resources to carry them out. Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change isincreasing demand for health and social services.Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of internationalterrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with less—quite a challenge.
Reducing power consumption is one of the most significant challenges of IT centers today. With storage needs on a steep rise, it is increasingly clear that new approaches must be explored. This IBM whitepaper shows how, on average, a traditional storage system using mirroring effectively uses less than 21% of its raw capacity, and an XIV system uses approximately 46% of its raw capacity.
As companies brace for more bumps in the economic downturn, many organisations are indiscriminately cutting costs. To ensure a seamless transition into the post-recession market, however, slashing and burning is not recommended. Now is the time to strategically trim and strengthen for success. This IDC White Paper explores 3 tangible areas that IT departments should investigate to help strategise cost reduction during the downturn. Download the White Paper to learn: -- Why IT utilisation, end-user support and maintenance budgets are the most strategic areas to investigate -- How to effectively approach cost-saving measures within these areas while maintaining IT performance -- Tools and services the IDC recommends for achieving maximum cost savings and efficiency
