Dedicated Redundant Power Supply Unit Announced by Xorcom

Microcomputer-based control system constantly monitors power requirements and supply to hundreds of Asterisk telephony ports, alerting the system administrator and balancing the load in the event of malfunction

Xorcom announces that it has developed a dedicated redundant power supply unit to support up to 16 Astribank™ telephony interface chassis (up to 512 analog ports). The new product, which complements TwinStar, the only commercially-supported hot failover solution for Asterisk-based PBX, will be on display at booth D-07 in the Digium Asterisk World pavilion at the Miami Beach Convention Center, from January 20 through January 22.

Xorcom Continues to Build Reliability into Open Source Telephony

“While the flexibility and features of open-source PBX systems have triggered substantial and ever-increasing worldwide acceptance, PBX reliability cannot be compromised,” notes Israel Gal, VP Innovation at Xorcom. “That’s why Xorcom systems are designed to ensure maximum uptime by providing built-in failover and load balancing mechanisms, ruggedized components, monitoring capabilities with automated alerts, and a variety of utilities for increased reliability.”

This dedicated redundant power supply unit designed by Xorcom builds reliability into an Asterisk-based PBX.

Extra Benefits in Compact Chassis

In addition to the four independent power supply units housed in the new 19” 1U rack-mountable product, it also contains eight internal USB 2.0 hubs with four ports each, to support a total of 32 USB 2.0 connections. As a result, the dedicated power supply unit is a perfect complement to TwinStar, the only commercially-supported hot failover system for Asterisk-based PBX, which connects via USB 2.0 to both the primary and the backup PBX.

Xorcom Presentations

Xorcom will be demonstrating the redundant power supply unit in their booth #D-07 in the Digium Asterisk World pavilion at the IT Expo, taking place January 20 – 22, 2010.
