Cloud Computing Concepts has completed the implementation and testing of geo-redundancy for its voice services platform. C3’s partners and clients will immedi- ately benefit from substantially increased resiliency and fault tolerance at no extra charge, said the company. Launched in June of 2019 out of its MIA1 based facility in Miami, the C3 voice platform is anchored by Cisco’s BroadWorks, a globally deployed carrier-grade software platform utilized by 25 of the top 30 service providers. It is deployed upon the same redundant Cisco UCS hardware and VMware software that C3’s Cloud services are powered by, and Oracle Acme Packet SBCs provide reliabil- ity and access to next-generation voice and collaboration services. To achieve true geo-redundancy, C3 effectively mirrored this proven configuration in its Las Vegas-based LAS1 facility and then painstakingly re-engineered its platform to ensure a seamless failover for clients. “As a result of the global COVID- 19 pandemic, we believe that the way businesses communicate and operate has changed forever,” commented C3 CEO, Rick Manci- nelli. “Never before have organiza- tions been so dependent on reliable and resilient communications, and our announcement demonstrates our continuing commitment to providing precisely that.” C3 is currently reviewing new channel partner requests.

Cloud communications platform provider Inteliquent in January reached 100 million phone numbers in service in North America.
