[asterisk-biz] CarrierClass.net project invites interested third parties

[Stephane Alnet]

CarrierClass.net specializes in large scale, centrally managed, Free 
Software IP PBX solutions. Our current model integrates Asterisk, SER, 
and other components, to build a scalable, highly-available solution 
that provides a centralized management software platform. We do not 
directly deploy these systems, but instead work with partners or 
interested customers to help them plan / design / implement their 
systems. Our offering includes both full-cycle services, and a software 
platform that enables the solution.

On the software side, our main focus for 2007 will be the Enterprise 
market, and a rapid pace of features development; however our design is 
suitable for hosted or managed PBX solutions as well, and may be a good 
fit for IP Centrex solutions.

At this time our software package is still in alpha stage and not 
available to outside parties, but preliminary documentation can be found 
on our website. A beta version will be publicly available in early 2007.

We are currently inviting the following parties to consider our offering 
and contact us for more information:

     * gateway manufacturers: we will natively support asterisk-based 
gateways (using zaptel-compatible hardware, such as Digium or Sangoma 
cards); third-party media gateway vendors are invited to contact us if 
they'd like to have us integrate automated configuration of their 
devices into the CarrierClass.net system.
     * phone vendors: our system provides complete provisioning of the 
edge devices; our initial support will be for Polycom 601 and Cisco 
7960/SIP phones, and interested phone vendors are welcome to contact us 
with regards to integration of their devices into the CarrierClass.net 
platform.
     * billing vendors: in order to address the future 
hosted/managed/IP-centrex development targets, we are interested in 
interfacing our centralized CDR collection engine with third-party 
billing vendors; specifications are available on our website, and we 
would appreciate feedback or requests from the community.
     * GUI/web-based engine designers: we purportedly offer a simple 
OAM&P interface in order to facilitate integration with larger OAM&P 
systems; however third-party software companies are free to provide 
richer interfaces on top of our centralized management solution.
     * OS providers/integrators: although we plan to release a full 
installation CD, our main focus is on stability and feature development; 
interested OS providers and integrators are welcome to work with us to 
add the CarrierClass.net management system to their offering.
     * integrators and phone system vendors who would like to use our 
solution in their upcoming deployments are invited to review our 
preliminary systems specifications and documentation, and provide feedback.
