The eZuce SIP Service Oriented Architecture (SSOA) is a native Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) architecture for a modern, highly scalable and resilient communications infrastructure. SSOA is based on a distributed network of SIP proxy servers and enhanced with critical elements to provide efficient and flexible call routing, load-sharing and seamless redundancy, extension mobility, ease-of-use, and unprecedented management and operating efficiency.

SSOA is fundamentally different in its basic concepts as compared to the architecture of typical legacy (IP) PBX systems. Legacy (IP) PBX systems are not designed as native SIP systems, but SIP capabilities were added later to an already existing design. SSOA is designed as a Service Oriented Architecture extended to SIP and real-time communications, leveraging Web Services interfaces for all communication between components. Because of this innovative new approach to communications systems design, SSOA injects unprecedented simplicity, flexibility and scale at significantly lower cost as compared to legacy communications systems.

SSOA is designed as a system that is easy to manage, avoiding any hierarchy between components with element managers and managers of managers. A cohesive admin interface allows centralized management of all components and powerful Web Services APIs allow for application and business process integration. SSOA is the standard blue-print for how software based unified communications systems are built as an IT application. For more information on eZuce SSOA please visit http://www.ezuce.com/features
