ISPhone Australasia is planning to work
with Equinix's Sydney Internet Business Exchange (IBX) data centre as a core
hub for its IP networks and network exchange services.
Equinix provides network-neutral data
centres and Internet exchange services for enterprises, content companies,
systems integrators and network services providers on a global basis.
ISPhone will deploy operations at Equinix's
Sydney IBX as the primary network interconnection point for the delivery of its
wholesale VoIP services to distributors and resellers.
ISPhone will operate its soft switches,
gateways and network equipment at Equinix's Sydney IBX centre.
By leveraging Equinix's carrier-neutral
data centre environment, ISPhone hopes to streamline its network infrastructure
and gain immediate and direct access to an aggregation of leading carriers,
ISPs and network service providers within the same physical location.
ISPhone will be able to connect to
different networks simultaneously and have a selection of network choices for
backup in the event of a service interruption with its primary provider.
Gavin McDougal, Managing Director of
ISPhone Australasia emphasised the importance
of delivering a high quality service to its customers, which are primarily in
the small to medium enterprise (SME) sector.
"We are continually looking for ways to
improve the quality and reliability of our VoIP service. Instead of relying on
one carrier to handle our network, we can now interconnect directly with many
national and international carriers.
"This will boost ISPhone's business grade
VoIP service and enhance our network's resilience for our SME customers," he
said.
Doug Oates, Managing Director of Equinix
Sydney, agrees that the IBX data centre will further enhance ISPhone's service.
"Equinix's carrier-neutral data centre
provides a flexible, robust platform for ISPhone to serve its customers' needs.
It provides ISPhone with the infrastructure to implement a fully redundant and
reliable network," he said.
