Ethrix Next Generation VAS Platform
Ethrix Next Generation VAS Platform, the EVOIP, is the powerful engine behind Ethrix video services and applications. The platform's architecture is predominantly built to enable flexibility and scalability, thus providing its owners the ability to react fast to rapid technological and business changes.
EVOIP can interface all communication protocols and all network types. It can integrate seamlessly with existing legacy systems and accommodate the ever growing demand for IT resources. Its open architecture and its compliance with industry wide standards ease the transition from strategy board to production and enable developers to introduce new services and applications quickly and efficiently.
EVOIP’s capacity to adapt to the organization’s business strategy and reality is due to the successful implementation of the following platform design principles:
Unlimited Scalability
Resources (e.g. Live Video, Streaming Audio, Mass Conferencing, IVVR and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) etc.) can be added or subtracted, by module, according to the changes in technology and consumption patterns; a smart real time resource allocation mechanism ensures the prevention of overloading and the elimination of resource waste.
Open and Flexible Architecture
Standard interfaces enable the platform to integrate with the enterprise's operational and business support legacy systems. Billing, Provisioning and Audit and Control can be managed either internally by using EVOIP or externally by using legacy systems.
Speedy Application Development
Standard development environments, debugging tools and non-propriety developing tools enable quick and easy development of video applications. As telephony commands are encapsulated in an API developers will no longer need to acquire dedicated knowledge on how to interface different resources. A system emulator enables developers to test their application on their own PC without having to upload it to the platform.
Network Interoperability
EVOIP's architecture supports a signaling management unit that ensures interoperability between IP and PSTN networks. The ability to function with both network types guarantees call completion, regardless of the call originating signaling protocol (SS#7, PRI, H324M or SIP).
Easy Content Management
The platform's content management tools provide content managers with the ability to easily upload video and other media files to the content servers. Media files are automatically encoded to insure compatibility. Service and applications can be configured and managed remotely from a web based interface.
Carrier Grade Performance
The platform is extremely reliable, well tested and proven in its capabilities. The platform is tested and engineered to exceed "five nines" high availability standards, and provides very fast fault recovery through redundancy.
