Leading broadband voice communications provider CommX has selected IBM blade server technology running Linux to increase network capacity by 10 times while reducing costs by 25 percent.“Due to our rapid growth nationwide, CommX was beginning to reach network call capacity, which meant that our clients’ phone service could be disrupted---not an option,” said CommX president Oscar Williams. “Customers rely on our service to complete their own critical daily business transactions, and they take notice very quickly if access to telephone features takes longer than one second.”
To ensure that they would continue to provide stable, reliable phone service, CommX migrated their BroadSoft VoIP application software from a Sun Sparc platform running Solaris to an IBM Bladecenter platform running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3.
The new IBM Bladecenter systems are so fast that VoIP gateway service carriers to the public switched telephone network had to make changes to accommodate the increased speed coming from CommX.
"In addition to the increased speed of our new technology platform, we now have the ability to roll out new conferencing services to our clients by the end of 2006. The new service will allow customers to enjoy real time multimedia interaction,” said Paul Kratz, CommX chief technology officer."Our previous platform could not have supported this new service.”
