Asterisk versus sipXecs
Tony Rybczynski debates Asterisk vs. xipXecs
Here on Buzzboard, I recently talked about the introduction of Nortel’s new SCS 500, a unified communications platform for SMBs. The “wow” part of the product is the fact that it is open-source, built on sipXecs (from SIPfoundry).
For some, the question that comes up is why Nortel chose to build the SCS 500 on sipXecs, and not Asterisk – since Asterisk seems to have much more visibility and momentum in the open-source space today.
Nortel enterprise guru Tony Rybczynski recently addressed this exact topic over on his blog on TMCnet, with a detailed list of reasons why SIPfoundry’s sipXecs is better suited to the needs of unified communications than Asterisk.
Go take a look and let us know what you think.
