Phone service is like air in today’s businesses: Its constant availability is both required and assumed. This state of affairs has arisen from more than a century of efforts by the makers of traditional voice switches to develop systems that are available at least 99.999% of the time. |
Concerns that voice over IP (VoIP) may not offer this vaunted “five nines” availability has been one of the major impediments to convergence.
This is ironic, because achieving a much higher level of communications-network resilience was the fundamental design goal for what is now the Internet. In contrast to their circuit-switched counterparts, packet-switched networks fundamentally enable fault tolerance, adaptive routing, and disaster recovery.
It is quite possible—and can be quite cost-effective—to build IP-based voice systems that are more reliable than circuit switched PBX platforms. The key is to start with the right foundation.
Today’s VoIP solutions fall into three basic categories: Systems evolved from traditional PBX platforms, systems evolved from traditional data-switch platforms, and systems designed from the ground up for VoIP. All three of these architectures can be used to deliver VoIP systems with five-nines reliability, but they involve different degrees of complexity and cost. In this paper, we will examine the effects that these different architectures have upon the ability.
