| Cypress Communications wins telecom disaster recovery award
"We are honored to receive this award in recognition of our unique hosted VoIP offering with its comprehensive business continuity solution. Many small-to-medium enterprises do not include voice system recovery as a part of their disaster recovery strategy due to the technologically complex and cost prohibitive nature of implementing such a solution," said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress Communications. "However, the Cypress hosted VoIP solution, C4 IP, makes comprehensive business continuity a real possibility for the small-to-medium enterprise." Frost & Sullivan presents the award each year to the company that has demonstrated excellence in new products and technologies within its industry. The Cypress solution, C4 IP, integrates PBX functionality, unified messaging and multimedia capabilities in a single solution to help enterprises connect, communicate, collaborate and continue in the event of any disaster. "With its highly resilient network architecture and commendable scalability, Cypress' C4 IP solution has been awarded the Frost & Sullivan North American Product Innovation Award," notes Frost & Sullivan technical insights ICT Manager, Vedavalli Rangan. "The C4 IP hosted VoIP solution can help enterprises collaborate, even across multiple locations, thereby ensuring business continuity and enhancing communication with customers, vendors, partners and remote workers. Cypress Communications operates a national private network designed specifically for VoIP. The network, which has been engineered for 99.999 percent availability and local site survivability with no single point of failure, is designed to automatically detect potential faults and self-correct and is supported by redundant devices to ensure maximum availability of voice communications.” In order to be resilient, the C4 IP platforms are located in hardened carrier grade collocation centers that contain dual power feeds, redundant generators and uninterrupted power supplies (UPS). In the event of a disaster, employees can work from home, the entire business can move to another location or even another city, and C4 IP keeps everyone connected, conducting business as usual. And since the communications intelligence is located on the network and not at the enterprise site, continuous communication is assured. Cypress is headquartered in Atlanta. www.cypresscom.net
