<p>Best-of-Breed IAAS Platform from Crosspeer sets the Standard for Advanced Unified Communications in the Cloud.</p><p>Las Vegas, NV, April 19, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Crosspeer, the leader in Next Generation Open Cloud Computing, announced its new Unified Cloud Communications IAAS initiative. Crosspeer is not only changing the way companies purchase IT computing resources, it is also re-defining the way they communicate truly empowering their workforces to become more agile, more flexible and more productive. The vision for the new offering brings together the computing power and flexibility of the cloud with high performance, reliability and security required for communications networks. Crosspeer sees this as the foundation for a new class of "Unified Communications Service" offerings and part of the core for building a "Virtual Telco" for SIP Communications.</p><p>"Many of our development team members have designed VoIP communications systems even before the SIP protocol was ratified as a standard," said Patrice Haftman, CTO of Crosspeer. "We knew early on that VoIP communications would eventually prevail, and that traditional Telco carrier networks would succumb to packet-based voice and data communications. Clearly land lines and PBXs are dead, and advanced IP-based Unified Communications systems are taking their place."</p><p>First generation VoIP implementations typically replaced land lines and legacy PBXs with on-premise communications servers that provided similar calling features. They not only connected softphones and desktop phones, they virtually eliminated the concept of long-distance. Today, converged IP communications is moving to the cloud where companies can take further advantage of even lower capital costs and overhead expenditures. Advanced communications such as VoIP, Presence, Instant Messaging, Unified Messaging, Conferencing (audio, web & video) and social networking let users connect and exchange ideas more effectively than ever before.</p><p><a href="http://www.virtual-strategy.com/2013/04/19/crosspeer-cloud-computing-announces-new-unified-communications-initiative">Keep reading...</a></p>
