STRATUSWORLD, LAS VEGAS, NV, March 27, 2006 – APEX Voice Communications, a leading provider of Telephony Application Servers, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Stratus Technologies to include Stratus’ fault tolerant ftServer(R) W Series Systems into its product line. APEX will integrate the ftServer W Series with its OmniVox3D(TM) Applications Server to become part of the APEX Multi-Service Platform (APEX MSP(TM)), which it offers to telecommunications service providers/carriers, enterprises and resellers worldwide.
APEX uniquely designed the OmniVox3D Application Server around web technologies, making it the perfect fit for high volume services. OmniVox3D’s modular design makes it the best fit for any network, whether it utilizes VXML Gateways or IMS Softswitches. Service Providers and Enterprises alike are able to rapidly add services to their network using the OmniView(R) Service Creation/OAM&P Environment integrated with OmniVox3D. These web-based tools provide a single cohesive environment to Design, Develop and Deploy a large suite of enhanced services on the APEX MSP.


“The solution represented by the OmniVox3D and ftServer W Series is right in step with market requirements,” said Mike Barrett, director of Sales for Stratus Technologies. “This combination places excellent revenue-generating potential, fast-time-to-market and exceptional reliability in the hands of our customers.”
The Stratus(R) ftServer W Series Systems offers an Intel-based Microsoft Windows Server, which delivers five nines – 99.999% – and greater uptime. The W Series family automatically provides zero failover time and critical protection for data in memory as well as on disk, which is a big advantage over cluster technology. Based on replicated, fault tolerant hardware components bundled with failsafe software, the servers offer operational simplicity. They also come with a Virtual Technician module and are integrated into Stratus’ global Active Service network for instant remote support capabilities.
“We at APEX have always prided ourselves on delivering our carrier-grade OmniVox3D Application Servers on the most reliable of hardware technologies.” said Elhum Vahdat, Executive Vice President of APEX Voice Communications. “With five nines and the first-class service Stratus provides, we continue with the promise of ensuring that our customers receive maximum hardware uptime, making the OmniVox3D and APEX MSP the industry’s most reliable solutions.”
APEX will be a Bronze Sponsor at StratusWorld 2006, exhibiting in booth number 11 from March 26th – 28th in Las Vegas, Nevada at The Venetian Hotel.
