For example, the packet duplication requirement that other SD-WAN providers put on stateful failover was seen as a large burden on Avaya\u2019s network plans.\u00a0 Having to double-provision bandwidth does not work on the scale AIX-Mobility is designed for.<\/p>\n<p>FatPipe\u2019s efficient means of VoIP management works both at the carrier level, like Avaya, and for enterprises.\u00a0 To learn more about FatPipe\u2019s SD-WAN for VoIP click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fatpipeinc.com\/solutions\/sd-wan-software-defined-wan.php\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just returned from Avaya Engage 2019 in Austin where FatPipe sponsored a booth in the solutions expo.&nbsp; It is always a pleasure to attend these events and hear first-hand what customers are looking for in the solutions expo.&nbsp; One theme we kept hearing was regarding cloud-hosted or cloud-ready UC and CC, and specifically, how [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,19],"tags":[68,57,74,71,30,66,72,69,73,65,23,40,75,70,67,24],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-avaya","category-fatpipe","tag-aix","tag-avaya","tag-bandwdith","tag-cc","tag-cloud","tag-connectivity","tag-engage","tag-failover","tag-internet","tag-mobile","tag-mpls","tag-sd-wan","tag-software","tag-uc","tag-voip","tag-wan"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":365,"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatpipeinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
