Many of our larger customers have or a looking at MPLS services. MPLS allows companies to connect locations anywhere into one network with local IP addresses. We have a customer that had a MPLS network but wanted to keep all their servers and firewall at the LightBound data center. We accomplished this by working with the customers MPLS provider to move the MPLS circuit to LightBound's data center and connect to the Colocation cabinet.

Don’t let 12 feet of snow shut you down.
When a major snowstorm hit, Fitzgibbons Agency was able to keep on working. Fonality PBXtra Call Center Edition saved the day. Employees could work from home, seamlessly, never missing a call, and they were able to close a huge insurance deal despite the closed roads and epic snowfall.
Business cannot stop, despite Mother Nature’s best efforts. That’s what the Fitzgibbons Agency, an Oswego, NY based real estate and insurance brokerage firm, learned when more than 12 feet of snow was dumped on the city in just over a week. Despite the Governor of New York declaring a state disaster emergency for the local area, Fitzgibbons Agency was able to continue working and close a significant insurance deal thanks to its Fonality PBXtra Call Center phone system.
Epic Snow Can’t Bring PBXtra Down
Being in the insurance business, John Fitzgibbons, owner of the Fitzgibbons Agency, believes in proactive disaster planning. Little did he know when he deployed PBXtra Call Center that his choice of IP-PBX phone system would save the day when a real weather disaster hit. Oswego, NY is notorious for enduring weather that does not affect other nearby communities. Its “snow belt” location requires Fitzgibbons Agency to operate even when the environment says it shouldn’t.
Turns out Fitzgibbons Agency was ready. It had deployed PBXtra Call Center as a powerful, flexible solution that could promote the fledgling company as larger than it was. “When I started the agency, I couldn’t afford Cisco, Avaya or Nortel, but needed multiple auto attendants and other key features,” said Fitzgibbons. “I looked at products from Switchvox and Fonality and chose PBXtra Call Center because its user interface was much more polished than Switchvox’s. The product is very simple for a non-technical person to use, and the biggest upside has been the flexibility PBXtra Call Center provides my agency.”
That flexibility was the key to keeping the lights on at Fitzgibbons Agency despite the epic snowfall. Good thing, too – the same week as the snow storm, Fitzgibbons had a commercial insurance deal set to close that would bring him thousands in recurring annual revenue dollars. Unable to get to the office, Fitzgibbons and another employee used a soft phone on a laptop and a Polycom phone brought home from the office to conduct business.
“We were buried in 12 feet of snow for five days and we never missed a call! Two employees worked from home and we were able to transfer calls back and forth so easily we could barely tell the difference. I think PBXtra is one of the smartest investments I’ve ever made,” said Fitzgibbons. “Thanks to PBXtra Call Center, we were able to close the deal, which will benefit my company for years to come.”
Telecommuting and Auto Attendants Equal Business Flexibility
Snowfall aside, PBXtra Call Center’s flexibility makes it an integral part of the Fitzgibbons Agency. “I have employees that go to school part time or live in remote locations, and PBXtra Call Center enables them to work from home whenever necessary,” says Fitzgibbons. “They take their desk phone with them or use their mobile or home phones, and can still work productively. The flexibility of telecommuting for my employees also helps me retain my employee base better. PBXtra Call Center makes it a win-win for both of us.”
Fitzgibbons also likes PBXtra Call Center’s multiple auto attendants, and the product’s ability to operate a mixed analog and VoIP environment. He combines these two features to create unique “unbundled” realtor services for home owners selling their own properties. One such service that takes advantage of PBXtra Call Center is Fitzgibbons’ virtual mailboxes. Interested buyers dial a Fitzgibbons Agency number, enter a property code that has been assigned to a specific home and hear detailed information about the property. “PBXtra Call Center’s combination of multiple auto attendants and VoIP lines means I can offer my clients a unique service that is outside of my core business,” said Fitzgibbons. “I can assign an auto attendant for each property code, and the really great part is that I don’t have any hard costs for the growth potential that PBXtra Call Center offers me. Whether I have one or 100 virtual mailboxes, my costs are the same!”
On Call, All The Time
It’s true for both real estate and insurance – customers have to be able to reach you no matter what. Because of PBXtra Call Center, Fitzgibbons is able to be on call, all the time. And he feels the same about his phone system. “PBXtra Call Center does not let me down,” he said. “I have absolutely no reservations about recommending this product. It offers a great feature set, it’s easy to install and use, and Fonality’s support has been terrific.”

1.) "We can focus on our core business." Smart companies focus on growing their business and don't have time to manage complicated IP PBXs.
2.) "IP PBXs can be hard to manage." Implementing the same phone system hundreds of times has taught hosted vendors how to avoid pitfalls of deploying VoIP. Companies also save time and resources because hosted providers use proactive and reactive monitoring systems to resolve problems faster than an in-house solution.
3.) "Our phone system is a service, not a product." Hosted providers devesop long-term relationships with clients and have a vested interest in keeping them happy, instead of selling the system once and making more money on fixes or upgrades.
4.) "Our total cost of ownership is lower." The only equipment required for hosted VoIP is a switch, router and user handsets. Companies that buy and install an IP PBX face large upfront capital expenditures, as well as maintenance and upgrade costs.
5.) "Our phone calls are secure for remote employees." While an IP PBX uses unmanaged broadband connections to connect telecommuters to the phone system, hosted providers can leverage facilities and expertise to do this securely.
6.) "We can easily add/manage office locations." Hosted VoIP systems are designed for almost limitless scalability and can treat multiple locations as one office. The benefits of connecting all offices to the same phone system include the ability to share a centralized receptionist and use free four-digit dialing between locations.
7.) "There are fewer vendor headaches." A single point of contact eliminates finger-pointing among service providers. Clients deal with one vendor and one bill.
8.) "We have better insight into monthly telecom spending." Hosted solutions' flat monthly fees eliminate the guesswork of operating expensive IP PBXs, which require spending 10% to 15% above the purchase price for annual maintenance contracts.
9.) "We're guaranteed access to the latest technology." Hosted VoIP providers handle software upgrades at no additional charge. If a company purchases an IP PBX now, in a few years it will be stuck with an outdated phone system.
10.) "Hosted VoIP satisfies our business continuity and disaster-recovery needs." Hosted providers house their equipment in carrier-grade collocation facilities with high levels of resiliency, back-up power and advanced safety features. An IP PBX resides in the client's office where it is susceptible to emergencies such as fires, floods or natural disasters.
Companies looking to implement VoIP have two choices: hosted VoIP or an in-house IP PBX. Hosted VoIP simplifies life for the business executive, making it a better solution, especially for organizations without extensive IT resources.

The Value of VoIP: Century 21 Franchise Gets Results with PBXtra
With a move on the horizon, Century 21 The Castle Company, a Century 21 franchise, opted to replace its cumbersome Meridian system with a VoIP system. Its choice? Fonality's PBXtra, which resulted in a great price point, easy installation and maintenance, and more productive agents. Happier customers, too — PBXtra's virtual extensions make it simple to reach realtors on site, in the car or at their home office.
Century 21 The Castle Company is a Wylie, Texas-based franchise of Century 21 Real Estate LLC, the franchisor of the world's largest residential real estate sales. The Castle Company has been in business since 1985 and serves the Dallas and Fort Worth market. In 2006, the company was preparing to move to a new location and decided to upgrade its phone system at the same time.
Wanted: A VoIP Solution
"We needed a way for our customers to feel closer to their agents. Our choices were to upgrade our existing phone system or look for new technology," said David Barnhart, owner and broker. The Castle Company's existing phone system was a Meridian switch with dedicated lines that was older, cumbersome and lacked many features. As a result, the company decided to shop for a new solution.
Barnhart had a technology background and a solid knowledge of VoIP, and decided to look into using VoIP for the new facility. The T1 and VoIP provider The Castle Company selected, CBeyond, recommended it consider Fonality for the phone system. Barnhart did some research and contacted Fonality by phone.
Quick Set Up and Easy Maintenance? Not a Problem.
"We wanted something easy to install and maintain, so we could do it ourselves. It was important to us that we could perform all updates and changes in house. We talked to Fonality and got a demo of PBXtra. They product seemed simple and the price point was great!"
The Castle Company deployed PBXtra in October of 2006. According to Barnhart, "PBXtra's setup was simple. I set it up at the same time as I set up the network at the office. All I had to do was plug in the phone system and turn it on. It was all preconfigured at Fonality and it just worked. To set up the 19 physical and virtual extensions, which included naming them and configuring any call forwards, took less than two hours. The whole setup took less than four hours from unpacking boxes to being operational."
Calls Here, There & Everywhere
One of the features that is most beneficial to The Castle Company is support for both physical and virtual extensions, which means that calls placed to an agent's extension can either ring at a physical desk within the office or be transferred transparently to a cell phone, home office or any other number. Agents decide how their calls will be handled and can configure or change call handling from anywhere through an easy to use web-based application.
For The Castle Company, more efficient call handling, means more productive agents and happier customers. The receptionist doesn't need to keep track of whether a realtor or employee is at a physical desk or working outside of the office. And, most importantly, clients find it easier to get in touch with their realtors.
"Fonality's PBXtra phone system is very affordable and easy to maintain. I have been so happy with it that I have told several of my colleagues at other real estate firms. Fonality should expect to hear from them in the future when they are shopping for a new phone system."

This week we met with a customer that currently has Internet and VoIP services with a CPE based IP PBX phone system. Customer was purchased by another company that is moving and wants to combine all three sites with an IP based Telephone system. Our solution was to us LightBound Server Collocation services. LightBound was going to locate customers IP PBX Server in our Data Center and provide T1 to each location to connect with PBX and the Internet. This allows three sites to be connected and share one phone system and gives them the ability to add future sites.

With consumer companies such as Skype and Vonage, VoIP is all the buzz these days. What is VoIP? VoIP stands for “Voice over Internet Protocol,” and in its simplest form means you can make telephone calls using your Internet connection. This has the obvious benefits of saving money on phone service, but also offers additional benefits to businesses that use VoIP-enabled phone systems.
VoIP Phone Systems Reduce Phone Bills
The primary benefit of a VoIP Phone System is the ability to make VoIP phone calls, saving up to 70% on phone bills. When businesses aren’t ready to make the jump into a purely VoIP phone service, phone systems such as Fonality PBXtra can be configured to use VoIP selectively for designated calls, such as intra-office, branch office, and international calls.
VoIP Phone Systems Mean Advanced Features
VoIP Phone Systems enable new and improved features that weren’t possible with traditional systems, such as unified messaging (integrated voice/data applications) and support for telecommuters and branch offices. Fonality PBXtra incorporates these VoIP Phone System features plus more. Fonality PBXtra also has web-based administration, proactive monitoring, disaster recovery, HUD presence management, CRM Integration, and FindMe with Boomerang Mobile Integration. And, as Fonality PBXtra releases new features, our customers with support contracts will receive these new features automatically.
VoIP Phone Systems Enable Network Simplicity
VoIP phone systems let businesses use their existing data network for both computers and telephones. In fact, each work station only needs one Ethernet cable, and with built-in Ethernet switches in IP-Phones, the desktop computer shares the one Ethernet drop and plugs right into the phone. This may seem like a simple benefit, but often reduces hefty cabling fees for new offices, and allows offices with existing cabling upgrade to VoIP-enabled phone systems without re-cabling.

Scale Computing’s N05 StorageNodes are a unified clustered architecture of both SAN and NAS arrays delivering enterprise features at an affordable price for the SMB market.
The N05 is the ideal solution for entry-level storage. With 2- 500 GB SATA disk drives, a single node stores .5 TB (1TB Raw) and has capacity to grow into the petabyte range. The N05 StorageNodes can also be mixed and matched with Scale’s S-Series StorageNodes, delivering a flexible, scalable solution for your growing storage needs. To add capacity, simply add nodes to the system. Data is automatically striped and mirrored across the cluster delivering migration-less scaling
The N05 includes enterprise-level features at no additional cost and is a true all-in-one solution at an affordable price.
Enterprise-Level Features included:
* Snapshots
* Replication
* Thin Provisioning
* Storage Pooling
* Operates with NFS/CFS/iSCSI
* No single point of failure
Intelligent Clustered Storage
All of Scale Storage Nodes’ are built on Scale’s own ICS Technology, which reduce your costs, add convenience and increase control over your storage needs.
Increase Control
ICS is a true scale-out architecture. It uses software to create a global name space across all nodes in the cluster, thus creating a single cluster with virtually unlimited scalability. The N05 StorageNode allows scalability by as little .5TB per node at a time. Prevent under-utilization and over- provisioning by purchasing only the amount of storage you need when you need it. Additionally, ICS contains its own block replication system. Each node contains the information necessary to access all data blocks simultaneously and can assume responsibility for any other node in the entire cluster, providing transparent fault tolerance at all times.
Reduce Costs
All Scale Computing StorageNodes include features and software expected for enterprise-level storage. The N05 Series provides the capacity needed for small-to-mid-size businesses without sacrificing features. It is also compatible with the S-Series as a need for larger capacity presents itself. Additionally, unlike controller-based systems that typically are programmed to read only nodes of a particular density, Scale’s ICS can accept nodes of multiple densities to the cluster. Nodes purchased today will work with nodes purchased in the future, making the nodes future proof.
Please make sure to keep on calendar LightBound's next Lunch and Learn in September 2010. Topic will be Scale Computing along with LightBound's ability to do Scale to Scale Replication.

Kindred Partners focuses on business process cosourcing (BPC): creating value by leveraging the distinct strengths of two partnering organizations. While traditional business process outsourcing focuses mainly on the “out” or moving a process “out of mind” or “out of sight,” co-sourcing focuses on the “sourcing.” Companies that co-source with Kindred develop a tight relationship with a key partner by
balancing in-house direction with Kindred’s business process management services and best practices. Kindred provides BPC support to customers, including document imaging, indexing, redaction and retrieval, and an outbound call center for customer service. Companies that utilize Kindred’s services are able to focus on their core competencies and can rest easy knowing that Kindred is handling the company’s administrative details expediently and correctly. Ultimately, Kindred provides clients rapid access to business information and seeks to enhance the quality of their business. In an effort to provide additional services to clients, Kindred expanded their offerings to include outbound customer support services. The company added a call center to its portfolio of services, providing primary customer service calls for financial services institutions. Kindred installed Fonality’s Trixbox IP telephone system. The flexible phone system allowed
Kindred to employ an Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) for outbound dialing, connection to a custom database, and the implementation of CallRex Call Recording™ software.
Partnering for Success
Many of Kindred’s clients are in the financial services industry and require the use of call recording for call auditing and quality tracking on their projects. To meet their client’s requirement for call recording capabilities, Kindred turned to Telrex. Working with the Telrex team for sales and implementation, the company’s needs were quickly uncovered and a solution was identified. “The relationship that we developed with Telrex was definitely more professional than the other places that we worked with. Telrex made it easy for us to discover our needs and implement the software through a well defined and managed process,” stated Drew Clauson, president of Kindred Partners.
Flexible Solution
Telrex offers the CallRex Call Recording software suite through subscriptionbased pricing, allowing companies like Kindred to take advantage of powerful call recording software with lower upfront costs. “The software as a service model helps us manage our cash flow. We can provide call recordings for our client’s projects without having to make a large up-front software investment,” said Clauson. Using subscription-based licenses, Kindred can pay for the licenses that they need over time, decreasing the company’s capital expenses and allowing the company to pay for licenses as the company grows. Telrex’s subscription-based licenses include access to technical support services and product upgrades throughout the life of the subscription contract, so Kindred can rest easy knowing that their software is supported. “We looked at a lot of different solutions, and CallRex had all of the features that we were
looking for. CallRex software is easy and intuitive.” - Drew Clauson, president, Kindred Partners LLC
