Hi folks, I'd love to hear some stories (good or bad) of hosted PBX VoIP installs on 100+ seat sites (single site). Specifically if you've done this with Broadsoft or another solidified switch. I have mixed opinions on how this type of scenario can be successful and now I'm being pressed by a client on a formal opinion. I figure having it based on experience from others on a similar product is worth hearing about.
We have done several with Broadsoft.
Specifically curious about how you addressed call quality issues and ensured bandwidth and uplink were sufficient.
It's pretty much the same formula as with smaller sites. As a rule, an office with lots of phones also has need for lots of data bandwidth. Some times a larger site is easier. Customers that have an office with 100+ employees understand the need for redundancy and high availability more than those with smaller offices. This allows us to provide two diverse circuits for failover and run the VoIP over one and data over the other. Only in the event of a failure of either link does QoS come into play. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
