"SIP Trunking in a Modern Communications Environment"
Ryan Kuchenbecker, Convergence Engineer
 In the modern business world, the convergence of voice and data communications has reshaped the way companies model themselves and the way their employees share information. Voice Over IP has allowed multi-site enterprises to operate as a single network and enabled inter-location voice traffic to bypass the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network i.e. copper trunks, PRI circuits, etc.) altogether. The cost savings can be substantial, but this scenario offers a new set of challenges. SIP trunking is a solution to many of the issues that a distributed voice network can present.

Knocking Down Device Barriers: Freedom to Collaborate
Mitel Blog - 12/23/13
 Gartner has predicted the life expectancy of BYOD to fall to the wayside by 2016. Despite this grim outlook, the fact is that organizations still need to prioritize the management of their daily operations and keep their employees communicating and collaborating as effectively and seamlessly as possible. At Mitel, our position is simple. Whether you're an organization that has a BYOD policy in place, or if you have decided to supply employees with company-preferred communication devices, to enable employees to work and collaborate more efficiently you need a consistent communications architecture across multiple devices. Only by breaking down the communication barriers between differing operating systems can you stop focusing on the potential high cost impact of BYOD and start concentrating on improving productivity. As workforce roles become more varied, and workers more widespread geographically, collaboration becomes more challenging than ever - and more important. Having a dependable communications infrastructure in place will not only enhance productivity and innovation, it will also help build stronger relationships amongst employees, customers and partners. Good collaboration tools are what connects people, and it is efficiency that brings the best possible outcomes for an organization. So whether it's using your own device or a company-supplied one, the message is loud and clear - it's not where the device has come from, it's where the device can bring you. |

Hybrid Cloud: The Year of Adoption is Upon Us
By Brandon Butler - January 2, 2014 - CIO.com
It was the big buzzword for cloud computing vendors last year. VMware launched its vCloud Hybrid Service. Rackspace, Microsoft, HP and Joyent have been touting how the same software that runs their public cloud can be used to manage a company's own data center, creating a seamless management experience across both.
There's good reason for all this talk about hybrid. The cloud is still in its nascent stages, which means that most organizations are not yet ready to jump into outsourcing their entire IT operations to the public cloud, experts say. But many are intrigued by the advantages the cloud can bring, such as automated self service provisioning of virtual machines and storage. So if the public cloud isn't right for everything, but organizations still want some sort of cloud, it usually ends up being a hybrid deployment.
