CommuniGate Systems Announces Immediate Availability of SIP Farm(C) to Deliver Industry's First Highly Resilient Carrier-class and Scalable VoIP Framework.MILL VALLEY, Calif. -- SIP Farm Brings Standardized standardized pertaining to data that have been submitted to standardization procedures. standardized morbidity rate see morbidity rate. standardized mortality rate see mortality rate. VoIP Communications to Telcos and Enterprises Permitting Mass Industry and Consumer Adoption CommuniGate Systems, the leader in scalable carrier-class Internet Communications solutions, is launching its new SIP Farm, patent-pending technology on the CommuniGate Pro Dynamic Cluster application server platform. The technology enables large scale deployments of SIP-based VoIP to telco-level capacities. The multi-node, all-active SIP Farm technology makes it possible to host millions of subscribers with either a consolidated cluster or distributed geographic placement of cluster members while providing 99.999 percent uptime. CommuniGate Pro 5.0 SIP Farm removes all barriers to adoption of SIP as a standard, making it possible to scale to tens of millions of subscribers with redundant signalling. The complex nature of real-time communications has strained the database-centric architectures Database-centric architecture or data-centric architecture has several distinct meanings, generally relating to software architectures in which databases play a crucial role. Often this description is meant to contrast the design to an alternative approach. of the past. Carriers have found it hard to manage systems not designed for the sheer load that IM presence status information and multiple end-points per user on the system. In the CommuniGate Pro Dynamic Cluster, SIP requests SIP requests are the codes used by Session Initiation Protocol for communication. To complement them there are SIP Responses, which generally indicate whether this request succeeded or failed, and in the latter case, why it failed. are distributed across all (or a subset of all) frontend servers. SIP presents challenges (compared to email protocols) for clustering and NAT traversal Passing through network address translation (NAT) to reach a user. NAT hides private IP addresses from the public Internet; however, voice over IP (VoIP) and videoconferencing calls that originate from outside the network must locate the user's IP address. See STUN, UPnP and NAT. as most signalling and media traffic occurs in UDP-based sessions. Many vendors attempt to manage sessions through complex and expensive switching and SBCs or by using database-limited state tracking. CommuniGate Pro's SIP Farm technology presents providers a method of scaling system capacity and redundancy by adding additional nodes to the cluster, aligning infrastructure costs to business revenue with as-needed capacity growth. "We're introducing technology today that eliminates the pains of scaling SIP technology for sites with tens of millions of subscribers. The lack of redundancy or susceptibility to signalling failure is the result of limited architectural approaches in most SIP systems," stated Thom O'Connor, Director of Product Architecture, CommuniGate Systems. "With CommuniGate Pro SIP Farm, redundancy and capacity is expanded in one or even multiple locations acting as a single cluster, with the ability to add or remove nodes from the cluster and providing immediate re-allocation of sessions in the event of system failure. All of this is driven by standards-based SIP as an Internet-ready mode of communication, where every user's address is available for end-to-end email, IM, voice, and video." Michael Osterman, principal, Osterman Research, Inc., said,"With the scalability and reliability of CommuniGate's SIP Farm technology, the company has taken a major step forward toward making all IP communications A general term for networks that use the IP protocol for voice (VoIP) and video traffic. See IP telephony. interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. . Because the company's technology can scale to hundreds of millions of subscribers, the ball is now in the court of IM and VoIP providers to make their systems truly interoperable based on industry standards." CommuniGate Pro 5.0 SIP Farm allows providers to sustain a million busy-hour call attempts and call rates of over 300 calls per second on each cluster frontend member. The SIP Farm provides a large cluster capable of call rates of tens of millions of BHCAs, while providing innate resilience in case of system or even site failure. Using a geographic deployment of the CommuniGate Pro Dynamic Cluster SIP Farm will allow providers to place systems in various locations or countries and have those members remain as part of a single cluster image for identity management, provisioning, and ease-of-administration. SIP Farm brings to VoIP what the Dynamic Cluster brings to email -- unsurpassed scalability and capacity, as evidenced by CommuniGate Pro's world-record setting SPECmail benchmark records at spec.org (SPEC(R) and the benchmark name SPECmail(R) are registered trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) is a non-profit organization that aims to produce "fair, impartial and meaningful benchmarks for computers."

CommuniGate Pro 5.0, based on open SIP standards, allows users a choice of clients -- IP phones, soft clients, traditional telephony, mobile devices, browsers, and IM agents -- all through the same access and login Signing in and gaining access to a network server, Web server or other computer system. The process (the noun) is a "login" or "logon," while the act of doing it (the verb) is to "log in" or to "log on. .

CommuniGate Pro 5.0 can route to multiple simultaneous gateways, including IP-to-PSTN and IP-to-IP, PSTN-to-IP, and even PSTN-to-PSTN between switches using SIP. Ultimately, with CommuniGate Pro 5.0 all users can choose their own choice of client for email, collaboration, and voice and still interoperate See interoperable. with one another.
