Peerio Serverless Peer-To-Peer Solution is Honored with Two Prestigious Frost & Sullivan Awards
Peerio recognized as a technological breakthrough - named 2005 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award Recipient and Outstanding Value-Proposition with 2005 Frost & Sullivan Customer Value Enhancement Award.
Sophia Antipolis, France and Los Altos, CA (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) August 8, 2005 -- Frost
& Sullivan recently acknowledged the advantage of Popular Telephony's Peerio
technological superiority and value proposition by awarding the company with
both the 2005 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation and 2005 Frost &
Sullivan Enterprise IP Telephony Customer Value Enhancement Awards.
"The
Peerio technology has the disruptive capacity to revolutionize the telephony
industry that we know and have grown accustomed too. Popular Telephony's
technology is inexpensive and offers a very low per-seat cost, while its ease of
installation and configuration will also prove to be major adoption drivers.
Popular Telephony is likely to be able to leverage the potential for Peerio to
achieve acceptance within the early adopters markets, including the SME and SOHO
segments where VoIP capabilities and features are appreciated, to rapidly gain
market share. The ease of installation, and low cost for ongoing use, are
equally attractive to the two market segments as they tend to understand the
benefits of a converged network, but prefer to be able to outsource the
technical know-how needed to deploy it, - said Elka Popova, Industry Manager, IP
Communications and Enterprise Solutions, at Frost & Sullivan. "It should be
noted that the Peerio technology is in an evolving stage, and as such, is
susceptible to setbacks and more importantly psychological blocks to acceptance
in the marketplace. However, the value-to-cost proposition that Peerio provides
is expected to outweigh such issues and further enable Popular Telephony to
succeed in the SME IP telephony market".
Each year Frost & Sullivan
presents the Customer Value Enhancement Award to the company that has
demonstrated creativity and innovation as well as excellence in technical
efficiency in offering a solution that meets the evolving needs of modern
customers. This year Frost & Sullivan recognized Popular Telephony for
having developed a unique serverless communications technology that greatly
reduces business customers' telephony infrastructure costs while providing them
with superior functionality. Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting
company, presented the award during the Awards Banquets in Boston.
"The
Frost & Sullivan award is a tremendous honor for Popular Telephony," said
Dmitry Goroshevsky, the CEO of Popular Telephony. "Popular Telephony is on its
mission to challenge the dated telephony paradigm by introducing the next
generation network communications architecture, with Peerio as the underlying
technology. We have made a commitment to combine innovative engineering with
customer-oriented marketing, thus providing a modern, self-reliant enterprise
with access to technology that works in the same way it does. Peerio turns
everyday communications into an on-the-fly, mobile solution and is perfect for
growing, dynamic businesses who value efficiency and innovation over tradition."
Popular Telephony is the first company to deliver serverless
peer-to-peer communications technology and Peerio products line for the
enterprise. The company's patented Peerio technology is looking to revolutionize
the telephony industry with the move from a "centralized" architecture to a
"distributed" architecture. The Peerio middleware, residing at the core of the
endpoint (PC or telephony device), enables the moving of all the functionality
and features to the edge of the network. This is made possible by the use of
Peerio-intelligent endpoints, plug-and-play devices, which connect with each
other using serverless technology, in a fully protocol-agnostic manner. The
company's product line includes Peerio- a middleware for embedded platforms,
PeerioBiz – a small business offering, Peerio GNUP - a global numbering plan and
PeerioData – distributed file storage and sharing application. Phone
manufacturers can embed the Peerio technology into their phones to make them P2P
and VoIP-enabled.
Peerio's revolutionary architecture dramatically
improves scalability, security, reliability and cost as it provides an enhanced
infrastructure for call control among end-points, without the need or use of a
central server by preventing 'bottlenecks' and improving the load balancing of
traffic on the network. Peerio-intelligent devices scale seamlessly for networks
of one to over four billion lines while the autonomous design enables
enterprises to reduce the TCO (total cost of ownership) expenses by as much as
80%; the TCO of Peerio system is a pure combination of an end-point device cost
and Peerio licensing fee per device or software.
"Popular Telephony has
been successfully developing close partnership with over 30 manufacturing
partners, channels and VARs since our introduction just a little more than one
year ago. We are 100% committed to the partner model via licensing and
co-developments. With robust distribution channels and progressive and efficient
solutions we aim to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the vendors and
lead the serverless networking revolution," added Sophia Babkove, the VP of
Marketing at Popular Telephony.
