IP Office as a Hosted PBX 1

[VoIPP]

I know that the IPO is less than perfect for a hosted PBX solution but has anyone here gone ahead and tried in anyways?

 

[tlpeter]

Ah i think i know now
You are from the south if i am right.

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Johan are you ill?
Advising Broadsoft instead of IPO (What happend to your Avaya blood?)

(And didn't you research a option to use the IPO as a hosted platform. Didn't work out as well as expected?)

 

[nothingworks101]

I thought they said hosted will allow a separate instance of ipo software for each company so you could have multiple companies.

 

[tlpeter]

It will be multi instance.
So this means a server edition solution and probably this means small SE's on a virtual machine.
But that is what i am guessing as i am not sure.

BAZINGA!

Can you imagine the server specs required to pull that off.....

 

[hawks]

Anyone know if they did it?

Avaya has the doc online. "Deploying IP Office in a Cloud Environment"

Mitel 3300/MCD/MiVoice (pick a name) is perfect for hosted and tenanting.

Problem is, they're abandoning the 53XX series phones, migrating to Aastra, which is a shame. Mitel is what we use in government/institutional solutions.

Really, when is this happening?

 

[yankblan]

I think by the end of 2015, but I'd have to check; been kind of out of the Mitel loop recently.

Right now Aastra are only SIP on MCD, but they will get the MINET protocol soon, and then they will abandon the line. All Aastra phones will be branded Mitel from now on.

The 5330 and 5340 were sweet, I will miss them... I don't know how it will impact the 5000 though, I'll have to check that too.

Aastra handsets are bloody awful though, really generic and cheap looking.....big mistake dropping the 5300, we have lost IP Office sales as customers liked the 5300s over 96xx handsets

How are they going to brand the MDC M5000 Centrex Aastra sets? That should be interesting to see. First Nortel, then Aastra and now Mitel!

I would imagine they'll drop those POS things, or donate them to a museum somewhere

 

[tlpeter]

Those 5300 phones are indeed nice.
Does anybody have some pictures of those aastra phones?

The 9140i and 9143i don't look so bad, do they?

The M5000 sets are a POS, ugly, complicated and do very little other than holding multiple lines. The power brick alone for those weigh a ton, and the wiring that needs to go to each desk looks like a rats nest. I am amazed at BMO Harris banks and many universities still have tons of the Nortel M5316s everywhere. Genband supports the MDC switches while Aastra Mitel supports the phones, messed up in my book. Would be easier to clean all that up and go with some nice Avaya 9600 IP Phones on an Aura platform.

The rest of the Aastra sets look plain ugly.
