Over recent years the Telephony solutions has been migrating from a proprietary platform that supported vendor legacy systems installed base to a new standards based approach with next generation gateways, SIP, and Services Orientated Architecture. CCNA are focused on developing solutions with an open standard approach.
Traditional Approach verses SIP & Standards Approach
The “Traditional Approach” supports the legacy cards within a chassis based solution. This provides connectivity for TDM requirements such as analogue, digital, and E1 trunks. It supports a range of IP telephony capabilities, but has many more IP to TDM components and licenses to support this solution. These TDM/IP components are a large part of the propriety vendor components within the Traditional Approach design. All of these components play an important role in the architecture, but reflect the TDM focus of this design with many of the costly cards simply playing the role of converted IP to TDM and then back and again to IP. Many of the chassis based components are now available upon the 2nd hand market, but are limited as each vendor imposes a limitation for customers trying to buy and reuse these cards given the proprietary licensing arrangements. Therefore there is not much investment protection around these components. The Traditional Approach also makes the assumption that the E1 circuits that are currently being provided by the telecommunications carriers are going to be cost effective as services going forward. This is a risky assumption given that there is already a strong business case with minimizing hardware to move to SIP services. The SIP based services are now cheaper to buy than the traditional services.
The “SIP & Standards Approach” supports a combination of the traditional vendor resiliency and redundancy whilst minimizing the number of real estate hungry chassis based cards and cabinets. This approach also supports the reduction of the maintenance pricing and provides flexibility for increasing the TDM/IP requirements where necessary but shows a commitment to the new age of Open Standards with the use of “Processor to Ethernet” and additional redundancy through the use of SIP trunking. The new SIP based solutions lean towards the open standards management and application development using web services and according to the Industry Analysts* the future of telephony integration. Microsoft and Google are leading the way offering the next generation of services across converged voice, video, and application aware SIP trunks. Network redundancy also benefits from this SIP approach as there can be better investment made in the redundant links when they no longer have to be replicated as voice and data separated redundant links.
