Massey University in New Zealand is now using Network Equipment Technologies, Inc.’s VX Series intelligent voice switch solution. Amtel’s Interactive Intelligence Customer Interaction Center software is also being used.

“Quite simply, we could not have moved forward with the new NCC implementation without NET’s VX Series intelligent media gateways,” said Gerrit Bahlman, Massey University’s chief information officer. “By having worked with Amtel and NET, we will be able to successfully communicate with our user base of 39,000 plus students, 4,500 staff and the general public in ways not possible with a traditional contact center solution.”

Massey University looked at several vendor solutions before deciding on NET’s VX Series.

“The VX Series has opened up new possibilities for enhancing business communications, and Amtel quickly recognized the VX Series’ potential in enabling the migration of legacy voice users to SIP-based solutions for simplified call center infrastructures and for cost-effective voice solutions for the entire enterprise,” said Colin Steeples, General Manager, Amtel Communications Ltd. “To top it all, NET’s 24×7×365 support services organization provided a level of support we have not received from any other vendor. Our partnership with NET takes full advantage of the VX Series’ flexibility and low cost, as well as NET’s exceptional support organization.”

Silicon Valley blog reports about San Jose State University is going to stop SKYPE within the campus network. I just finished reading the document by CERN (the birthplace of the World Wide Web.) why it does not want skype on it’s net work,
excerpt from the document;
"Skype P2P telephony: the privacy policy of Skype violates CERN’s Computing Rules by bypassing firewall protections and offering services to others. For further details on Skype restrictions at CERN look at http://cern.ch/security/skype."
Following in the footsteps of the University of California-Santa Barbara and California State University-Dominguez Hills, SJSU plans to ban use of the pioneering VoIP system on its network because installation of the client software allows machines to serve as third-party relays for phone calls, chat and messages.
Luckily, eBay, which owns Skype, is located nearby, and the university has invited some company reps to come over on Tuesday and see if there’s a way to work things out. Jennifer Caukin, a spokeswoman for eBay, said Skype was looking forward to having "a direct dialogue with SJSU officials to discuss their concerns and educate them about how Skype works." And you better believe Skype will put a lot into that lesson plan, given the stakes should this get to be a trend.
Techdirt also reports on the article. With a bunch of comments. So if you have skype installed and need to remove them;
For Linux read this weblog
For windows read this weblog. Which I will rewrite soon, due to poor presentation.
Happy VOIPing.
