Brooktrout Demonstrates SnowShore IP Media Server on Continuous
Computing® AdvancedTCA Platform
NEEDHAM, Mass., and SAN DIEGO -- April 5, 2005—Brooktrout
Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media processing and call-control
products, today announced a demonstration of its SnowShore IP Media
Server™, an open carrier-class IP media server, running on
Continuous Computing’s® Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture
(AdvancedTCA) platform. The support of this new architecture will
allow network equipment vendors to incorporate the SnowShore IP
Media Server into carrier-grade, AdvancedTCA systems for deployment
in wireless, wireline and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks.
Continuous Computing is a global provider of high availability platform
solutions that enable telecom equipment manufacturers to rapidly
deploy converged communications.
The SnowShore IP Media Server is an open, carrier-class IP media
server that delivers advanced media processing for communications
applications, from basic messaging and prepaid services to conferencing
and video mail. With standard network and programming interfaces
including SIP and VoiceXML, it provides interoperability with a
broad range of third-party application servers in next-generation
wireline, wireless and broadband networks.
AdvancedTCA is an open industry standard for carrier-grade, blade-based
servers targeting the requirements for next-generation telecommunications
network equipment. AdvancedTCA was designed to provide higher I/O
capacity and computing performance, as well as deliver improved
reliability and flexibility, reduced equipment footprint and power
density, and greater choice and interoperability of components at
multiple levels of the solution ‘stack’.
“The open, software-based technology of the SnowShore IP
Media Server, which runs on Intel processors and the Linux operating
system, made it straightforward to implement on Continuous Computing’s
AdvancedTCA system,” said Peter Vescuso, vice president of
market development for Brooktrout Technology. “The SnowShore
architecture enables Brooktrout to offer the IP Media Server on
several different standard computing platforms such as AdvancedTCA
and the IBM BladeCenter. As customers of Trillium® protocol
software, we already were aware of Continuous Computing’s
product quality and hands-on approach to customer service. Based
on this existing relationship, we felt very comfortable working
with Continuous Computing to take advantage of the inherent power
and flexibility of their AdvancedTCA product family.”
Prasad Kallur, Continuous Computing’s vice president of product
management and marketing, commented, “Empowering Brooktrout
to run its media server on our AdvancedTCA platform demonstrates
how Continuous Computing enables telecom equipment manufacturers
to leverage the full range of hardware and software capabilities
available with high availability system solutions. Demonstrating
the SnowShore IP Media Server on our AdvancedTCA LINUXblade™
XE20 single board computer was simple, fast and effective –
a textbook case of how applications can be deployed quickly with
a standards-based platform and expert customer support.”
