Covergence Session Manager to ensure reliable, "business-grade"
voice services for Dash customers nationwide
MAYNARD, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Covergence(R), the leading provider of next-generation Session
Border Control solutions, today announced that Dash Carrier Services,
a provider of wholesale carrier services to VoIP service providers,
has selected Covergence Session Manager (CSM). With Covergence Session
Manager, Dash Carrier will deliver Voice over IP (VoIP) and other rich
interactive real-time services, ensuring customers a superior
experience and the secure, reliable access to the communications
services they require.
Covergence Session Manager - having been designed to fully
leverage Web Services standards like Web Services Description Language
(WSDL) - provides a web services interface that gives developers the
ability to exert dynamic, fine-grained, policy-based control over
real-time communications. Standard web services protocols make it easy
for developers to embed policy into applications, allowing for
authenticated applications to dynamically and uniformly enforce policy
over any or all real-time sessions.
Dash Carrier uses Covergence Session Manager and the inherent
flexibility of WSDL to enforce dynamic control policies that determine
which service options and levels a particular user is entitled to at
any moment in time. As a carrier that offers established voice
carriers and emerging VoIP providers feasible voice solutions that
deliver positive and rapid returns on their investment, Dash embraced
the ability offered by CSM to rapidly create applications and enforce
dynamic control policies which enable new, revenue generating,
profitable real-time services.
"Dash has always offered customers a commitment of unsurpassed
quality, value and service. Obviously we try to invest in the right
technology to help us meet that commitment," said Justin Nelson, CEO,
Dash Carrier Services. "The Covergence Session Manager addresses this
challenge by providing a rich programming interface which enables us
to flexibly develop and deploy our communication applications."
"Web services and SIP are changing the game when in comes to
flexibility, interoperability and the skill set required of
developers. By leveraging web services and CSM, organizations can
reduce the costs and complexity of deployment without compromising
availability, performance or security," said Bob O'Neil, president and
CEO, Covergence. "CSM provides Dash Carrier the ability to interact
with services to provide the security, performance, quality and
reliability thresholds its business customers need."
CSM is designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized
businesses (SMB) and scales its offerings all the way up to the
world's largest service providers, with recently-announced support for
the IBM BladeCenter and industry-standard AdvancedTCA chassis. CSM
also feeds critical performance and quality metrics to the management
frameworks from IBM, HP and others to provide operations teams with
the complete visibility and span-of-control they need. All CSM models
