4PSA Introduces Flexible Unified Communications with VoipNow Cloud Instance

Online, March 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 4PSA, a leading innovative Cloud Computing software development company has announced today the release of VoipNow Cloud Instance, a fully-featured and flexible turn-key solution that bundles high-performance infrastructure with the company's award-winning VoipNow® Unified Communications Platform.

VoipNow Cloud Instance is intended for service providers that choose to deploy Unified Communications and want to base their offering on services highly flexible from a financial and operational perspective. Compared to other UC cloud offerings on the market, this solution comes with many advantages due to the tight integration between hardware and software resources. From a customer's perspective, the main benefit is that the instance is private; it is not shared with any other entity. This means that the service provider has full access to all system parameters, down to the low-level settings.

"Our customers deploy VoipNow with many IaaS cloud services, Amazon EC2 being one of the most popular among them. At the same time, they can run VoipNow on their own hardware or on equipment leased from an infrastructure service provider. While all these options are widely used, we wanted to accelerate the process with a full solution that can be provisioned in minutes," said Bogdan Carstoiu, 4PSA's CEO.

VoipNow Cloud Instance comes at a very low cost due to the built-in technologies that scale the cloud instance resources dynamically with the number of customers provisioned by the service provider. "Another major advantage of VoipNow Cloud Instance is the scaling path. A cloud instance can grow from 0 to 10,000 Unified Communications customers without any downtime, which is very important for service providers. They are in charge of their instance and can choose the voice carriers they prefer. Furthermore, they have full control over the system through a range of web-based management tools", added Mr. Carstoiu.

VoipNow Cloud Instance services are available both in US and Europe. The service is provisioned in a couple of minutes and comes with all the necessary tools to provide Unified Communications. Customers can choose between two functionality levels: both with full Unified Communications feature set and, when selected, with VoipNow Automation. Automation allows service providers to reduce costs by streamlining provisioning, invoicing, and other important business operations.

Pricing for VoipNow Cloud Instance service starts at US $159 per month and includes support for up to 100 UC customers. Each additional customer is charged with a maximum of US $2.1/month. The service is backed up by a 99.95% uptime guarantee.
