>> Subject: [VoiceOps] Acquire MetaSwitch<br>
>> <br>
>> Hello, <br>
>> <br>
>> We are in the market to acquire / take over a MetaSwitch CFS. In particular, we're looking for the virtual edition that runs purely in VMWare.<br>
>> <br>
>> The components we'd need are:<br>
>> CFS<br>
>> MRS (Media Resource Server)<br>
>> Perimeta<br>
>> SAS (Service Assurance Server)<br>
>> MetaView Server<br>
>> <br>
>> These are fairly common components.<br>
>> <br>
>> Given the MetaSwitch products are no longer sold, and Microsoft is EOLing them, and not taking new support contracts, we're not talking about a big cash up front kind of deal, but, instead a revenue share kind of arrangement.<br>
>> <br>
>> Anyone that has one and is interested, contact me directly off-list.<br>
>> <br>
>> Cheers,<br>
