Novacoast Announces Rapid Deployment of Open Source Voice over IP

Novacoast, Inc., an IT professional services firm announces the release of its Rapid Deployment methodology for an Open Source Voice over IP (VoIP) implementation. Called VoiceRD(TM), it is the rapid deployment of Asterisk, a fully featured Open Source PBX. The deployment is complete with hardware, software, line provisioning, network integration, professional services, and training.

The Open Source software is essentially a PBX platform. It is based on Pogo Linux, a high-quality Linux based appliance running Novell's SUSE Linux, Asterisk Open Source PBX Software, Novell eDirectory, Novell Identity Manager and Novell AppArmor.

VoiceRD is based on an x/86 appliance that is built to the needs of your enterprise. Novacoast has partnered with Novell, Pogo Linux, and Digium to create an appliance which consists of Pogo Linux server hardware, a Digium 4 port T1 card, a SUSE Linux license, and a copy of Novell AppArmor. Added to the appliance are CODEC licenses for the number of concurrent lines and a Web management tool. Identity management licenses are added to provision the telephone directly from the user directory or other authoritative user source. Handsets are included to the user count.

Novacoast is a pioneer in the field of rapid deployment. VoiceRD is based on fixed price, limited engagement methodologies developed by Novacoast. VoiceRD(TM) has been developed for complex applications. An example is a multi-site or international deployment where all servers and extensions are integrated and networked. RD(TM) methodologies acknowledge long-term design and goals while accomplishing smaller sub-projects.

OpenVOIP-RD was a finalist for Best Integration Solution at LinuxWorld San Francisco, 2005.
