8x8 Introduces Hosted IP PBX Phone Service for Enterprise-Sized Businesses

ORLANDO, Fla., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VOICECON 2009 -- 8x8, Inc.
(Nasdaq: EGHT), provider of 8x8 Virtual Office and Packet8 (www.packet8.net)
broadband business, residential, video and mobile communications services,
today announced the availability of an enterprise version of its hosted IP PBX
phone service suited for deployment in larger organizations located in either
a single building, a campus environment or distributed across multiple
locations.

8x8 Virtual Office Enterprise, the latest generation of 8x8's broadband
agnostic hosted IP PBX business phone solutions, brings the features,
flexibility and economies of hosted VoIP to enterprise environments at a time
when economic conditions are forcing CIOs and CFOs to seek new ways to reduce
operating expenditures. Unlike premise-based PBX phone systems that require a
significant financial investment plus management and maintenance resources,
Virtual Office Enterprise is a complete business phone solution that delivers
advanced PBX calling features combined with cost-effective IP dial tone
service, eliminating the need for expensive on-site equipment.

"Core enhancements to the Virtual Office hosted PBX platform and additional
redundancy in our network now enable us to offer this solution to larger
organizations that are analyzing the cost and functionality of their current
telecommunications infrastructure alongside a requirement for high quality,
availability and redundancy from this mission critical service," said 8x8
Chairman & CEO Bryan Martin.

The 8x8 Virtual Office Enterprise solution meets the critical performance
requirements of large corporations by providing high availability, quality and
redundancy. 8x8 has recently upgraded its service infrastructure, deploying a
new triple redundant architecture across three independent data centers with
each data center connected to redundant IP access providers. This new
architecture allows for failure of any software component, server, cluster or
even a complete data center failure without affecting service to the end
customer.

"We are very pleased with the roll out of our new network and application
design," said 8x8 Vice President of Service Delivery & Support Mehdi Salour.
"Our services are now designed to be more reliable than ever and the addition
of multiple connections to several different tier one access providers will
enable us to provide even higher quality services to our customers."
