Appia Communications, a provider of managed communications for voice and video, applications and data transfer over networks, has solutions for IP-PBX (News - Alert), home phone, IP phone, or mobile phone customers that have a need for Phone System Disaster Recovery and Voice Disaster Recovery.

Since IP networks can experience jitter -- caused by congestion in the network -- and traffic could be exposed to packet loss, which can disrupt real-time communication, Appia Communications offers a few disaster recovery plans for networks and business continuity; there are plans that focus on data as well as on communicating customers.

To implement a fully managed hosted phone plan for IP communications over a voice-optimized network or to connect to an existing PBX or an existing LAN, for example, customers can purchase one of Appia's SIP trunking services, which provides the need for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR). Appia’s SIP Trunks with built-in PBX Failover offer more value than standard SIP trunk services and proves BC/DR is paramount for a unified communications network to ensure a high-quality user experience.

With Appia’s Phone (News - Alert) system Disaster Recovery solution and SIP trunking service plan, which includes one rack unit of space, power, and Internet access for SIP services, customers can survive a disaster in a carrier-grade environment; it only applies when clients purchase Appia's SIP trunking services, they can co-locate real-time backups for either a hosted IP-CTX or IP-PBX solution in the Appia data center.

Buying SIP trunking from Appia, a service plan for a monthly price of $59, will help ensure delivery of voice communications and automatic redundancy and failover when disaster strikes.

Otherwise, if there is a need of a hosted phone service, Appia’s IP-PBX solution provides a cost-effective solution for customers, says Victor von Schlegell, the president of Appia Communications, which can ensure their communications will be safe and secure.

On the other hand, those customers that may need to replace their PBX systems or want to deploy or have alternate IP-PBXs, Appia offer its IP-CTX solution: it includes phone services, voicemail, and connectivity on a PBX system. With IP-CTX, it has voice disaster recovery built right in, which is ideal for BC/DR in the event of an outage - related to equipment, network or other circumstances -- as communications over the voice-optimized Appia network can either restore calls or reroute inbound calls to predetermined destinations.

When it comes down to it, Appia understands the importance of communication, proving it has a reliable service plans for phone and voice disaster recovery solutions.
