Just curious: Is there a reason to avoid Metaswitch? <br>
<br>
My main experience is in Metaswitch and Sonus, but in Metaswitch it
was limited to the 2510 and 3510 gateways and the accompanying
servers up to 7.4 software and none of the newer blade platforms. At
the time I would have said that Metaswitch would have worked quite
well for what is being asked, especially if wanting to split across
many smaller gateways and geographically distributed. Is there
something with the new hardware and/or software I don't know about
quality-wise?<br>
<br>
Sonus killed off the GSX4000 which would have lent better to
spreading around a bunch of smaller boxes. They still have the
GSX9000 which goes up to single OC-3 cards (so you'd have to have a
couple to split an OC-48 still), but their main push seems to be the
SBC5210 and SBC7000 which are IP only, no TDM. But spread across
gateways the call processing can easily do the 500 CPS. <br>

<div class="">This is literally what platforms like
metaswitch, sonus and many others are made for. If you're
looking for low cost, Taqua's solution is decent, and if you
need to take that entire OC-48, you're all but eyeballs deep
in Sonus or Metaswitch land.</div>

for suggestions for NEBS compliant gear that can

around 500 cps through a *<b class="">good</b>* (key

idea of a single larger device that can take a full

spread the load across multiple devices and smaller
interfaces for load balancing and redundancy.<o:p
