White Paper: Redundancy

Communication secures the internal flow of information within a business, as much as contact between customers and business partners. Outage of communication may have enormous economic effects on businesses. Even if only parts of the communication system are affected (such as waiting queues or integration of the CRM system), impact on productivity and employee satisfaction may be tremendous. Download the White Paper on Redundancy (incl. checklist) for free and learn about the key factors when planning a secure and stable communication system.

Meltdown and Spectre Security Threats: What You need to Know with Regard to the innovaphone PBX

Meltdown and Spectre are vulnerabilities which allow malware to read secured data from other applications. innovaphone devices are not affected by these security gaps since operating systems and applications are directly from innovaphone and additional software cannot be installed.

The innovaphone PBX can also be operated on the virtualization platforms of VMware VSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V directly, which are generally vulnerable. Here too, the innovaphone PBX is a self-contained and secure system without additional operating system and without 3^rd party software. However, in order to ensure the security of the virtual system, it is necessary to get information from the manufacturer and to install their updates.

Release Version 12r2

Note the date: innovaphone’s PBX Software Version 12r2 will be released on June1^st, 2017. You will find these new highlights and features in version 12r2. Some of the major innovations will be the innovaphone apps.

innovaphone Apps
PBX specific apps are started directly from the myPBX Client. With 12r2, there are license-free apps, and apps subject to licensing. PBX Boolean and PBX User Settings are license-free apps:

• PBX Boolean: timers such as “Christmas holidays” and call diversions can be managed with this app.
• PBX User Settings: dynamic groups can be managed with this app. Users see all of their dynamic groups and can enable or disable these by simply setting a tick.

Conference App
myPBX users can administer and set up conference rooms with the Conference App. You as the conference master can see the participants presently attending the conference, you can mute certain participants, or block them from the conference altogether. This also applies to video conferences and conferences with application sharing. The current speaker is visually highlighted in the Conference App and in a video conference, the video image of the current speaker is additionally displayed. The Conference App is subject to licensing and every user requires one separate license. An unlimited number of conference rooms can be used with this license

Smartphone Integration – Call through
Besides call back, innovaphone now also offers call through. First, the GSM call first enters into the system and is then relayed to the outside. innovaphone app users for iOS and Android can now decide which option they prefer.

Simple Outlook contact search
As part of office integration, innovaphone has activated Outlook Search in the launcher in its PBX Version 12r2. Private Outlook contacts can now be searched with myPBX.

Hyper-V Support
We fulfilled the feature request to also support IPVA on other virtualisation platforms. From 12r2 on, IPVA will be supported on Hyper-V. The advantage is easy installation and easy integration of the IPVA in an existing Windows server infrastructure, with Hyper-V being freeware by Microsoft.

SDK Headset Support
With support of the software development kits, the compatibility of headsets (Sennheiser, Jabra, Plantronics) with innovaphone are considerably simplified and comprehensive interoperability is easier to ensure.

The Software Version 12r2 needs more memory space. This may limit operability of the PBX on various devices. Our wiki provides more information on the upgrade to 12r2 and on discontinued products.
