"Our VoIP solution from Stratus provided essentially everything we needed from a single source," said Don Nguyen, IT Manager for Yootel, a Toronto-based provider of advanced voice, IPTV and Internet services for residential and business customers. "ENTICE is a very comprehensive product suite, much more so than competitive offerings. Having the ftServer fault-tolerant platform to run it on, knowing that it is based on the same server technology used by many of the largest carriers in the world, translates into real service benefits for our customers."
Stratus ftServer systems available for ENTICE 2.5 products range from decentralized, mission-critical applications typical among Tier 2 or 3 providers where price is a consideration, to models suited for Central Office deployments requiring support for high call volume, multiple services, and intensive data storage.
The new ENTICE 2.5 family of products offers a complete control services and software foundation for high-quality VoIP and IN/AIN services. With this announcement, Service Providers and partners can now offer several complete end-to-end solutions including:
o Triple Play (VoIP, broadband, and TV)

"Stratus' ENTICE and ftServer products represent a combined hardware and software infrastructure that can adapt and grow with the provider.
