Vsys and Hewlett-Packard Demonstrate New Itanium Processor-Based Network Infrastructure

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Vsys, a leading industry player in softswitch technology, has chosen Telecom Asia as the venue to demonstrate its multi-protocol softswitch platform on the forthcoming Itanium Processor family under Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX 11i operating environment. The demonstration highlights the multi-protocol capabilities of Vsys Softswitch by connecting the local PSTN to the show floor through H.323 and MGCP gateway technology from Intel's Dialogic product family. Vsys Softswitch is the network intelligence that allows reliable connections to be established through packet networks, providing carrier-class solutions for those carriers interested in performance and scalability.
