Digium moves into the era of cloud computing

On 01 abril Olle E. Johansson appeared in "The asterisk-users Archives" a press release from the truth, I think that will change telecommunications as we know. With the title of "Virtual Communication Clouds :: New feature in Asterisk 1.8"

The press release reveals a inimaginamble news: Digium is planning to participate in the world of Voip service providers as a major player. Asterisk 1.8 will contain a stunning new technology for all Asterisk users world-wide – virtual communication clouds or VCC (TM). VCC will be a binary module distributed with Asterisk 1.8. It will connect to the Digium VCCnet over native IPv6, IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels and directly over layer 2 technologies like Ethernet. All VCC clients will get a native IPv6 address assigned. Enterprises may purchase a full IPv6 network range in the VCCnet to get full access. VCCnet is a network service managed by Digium worldwide.

“Our new platform is built for the new organization in the workplace, the family and the community – a truly virtual multimedia communication network for the Internet age. By moving our focus away from the traditional PBX, we succeeded in changing the  Digium solution from a server centric view to a service centric view.” says Sokkie Stevens, product manager for the new platform.

Digium is one of the first companies to get an IPv6 assignment on a global service provider level. After signing peering agreements with major carriers world-wide, the next step was to apply the successful Dundi protocol on top of IPv6.

”Dundi and IPv6 was a match made in heaven”, says Mick Spenser, the CTO for Digium, “Dundi had a successful peering and discovery infrastructure that is now even stronger with IPv6 multicast and secured by using IPsec.”
