media processing allows media processing and call control
functions-traditionally performed by specialized hardware telephony
boards-to be performed on general purpose system host processors
that run in industry standard servers. Host-based media processing
brings new efficiencies to existing applications, such as IVR
andvoice messaging, by eliminating the need for specialized
hardware through support of a software-only solution. In addition,
it holds promise for expanding enterprise voice capabilities into
more mainstream business applications. Enterprise
applicationvendors want to take advantage of the benefits of
host-based media processing, including simplified distribution,
support and logistics, that translate into reduced costs and
improved service. However, many are concerned about the performance
impact of running real-time media processing in a non-real-time
environment, and of the contention for system resources between
media processing and their applications. Brooktrout's approach is
designed to deliver on the benefits of host-based media by focusing
on the performance and reliability of the total system.
Brooktrout's approach is also engineered to permit easy transition
between hardware and software, and IP and TDM solutions. "As speech
integrates with mainstream IT applications beyond the callcenter,
innovations such as Host-Based Media are vital in packaging speech
for general IT consumption, and out of the realm of specialized
telephony systems," said Mark Plakias, partner and senior
consultant, Zelos Group. "Since our company began, we've provided
enabling technology capabilities in whatever form best meets the
needs of our customers, and we remain committed to investment in
both hardware and software-based solutions. This strategy puts
Brooktrout in a strong position to take advantage of the impending
transition in the communications market to flexible software-only
solutions," said Eric Giler, president of Brooktrout. "Our current
products, along with our new host-based media processing products,
will provide developers the freedom to move between hardware and
software platforms, allowing them to select the best technology to
suit their particular needs." For more information on joining the
