<p>Besides getting rid of their Max UC softphone (to make MS Teams
THEE softphone), they did EOL a lot of the Meta product.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We - RAD-INFO, ECG and Andrew Ward - did a webinar about it in
May. You can watch the recording here:

<p>Microsoft's end game is for every operator to have a big pipe to
Azure to access Metaswitch, vSBC, Teams and other components.</p>

<b>Subject: </b>[VoiceOps] Acquire MetaSwitch<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The components we'd need are:</div>
<div> CFS</div>
<div> MRS (Media Resource Server)</div>
<div> Perimeta</div>
<div> SAS (Service Assurance Server)</div>
<div> MetaView Server</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These are fairly common components.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone that has one and is interested, contact me
directly off-list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jawaid</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
