`
`CommuniGate Pro at Tario (VoIP Trade Ltd.)—
`Offering a Solution that is Difficult to Beat
`
`As Tario expanded its influence over the VoIP sector, they wanted to update their technology to meet
`their growing needs. It was crucial for them to have a secure solution that would provide features such
`as: Web-mail, VoIP, IMAP, POP, and SIP, all of which needed to function at a large scale. They also
`needed a solution that had an excellent performance record, first-rate technical support, and that had
`room to grow and expand as their company did. They required a system that would provide near flawless
`uptime with minimal efforts needed for future upgrades. With their expansion plans, having a system in
`place to handle the complexity of their next generation VoIP network was essential. By changing out
`their own internal system to the CommuniGate Pro IP Communications Application Server, Tario can
`now concentrate on building value added new features and services for their customers such as Voice
`Conferencing and PBX.

`
`Working directly with the creators of CommuniGate Pro, Tario was able to find a solution that met their
`needs. Now, they use CommuniGate Pro for: web-mail services, IMAP for remote email retrieval, POP
`for local email retrieval, VoIP for telephone communications, and the power of presence via SIP. Com-
`muniGate Pro worked so well for them that they were able to create a public IP project and compile
`over 300,000 users. German Myzovsky, the director of network development at Tario Communications
`stated, “CommuniGate Pro offers us the ability to create new generation services as well as support the
`growth we acquire.”
`
`The CommuniGate Pro Active Dynamic Cluster currently runs on Intel® Xeon® processor-based serv-
`ers, at 3.0 Ghz with two gigabytes of RAM. The cluster utilizes data sharing with a storage array with
`Raid data integrity. Tario can expand the system with the “Just Add Nodes” feature, for no down time
`system expansion. The “Rolling Updates” feature allows upgrades to occur with no user downtime. Tario
`runs their version of CommuniGate Pro on FreeBSD v5.1 (a Unix-like free software operating system).
`
`As one of the largest providers of VoIP services in Eastern Europe, Tario needs a solution that not only
`focuses on email security and reliability, but provides outstanding IP Telephony capability as well. Tario
`takes advantage of the NAT traversal solution which allows them to establish, and solidify connections
`between hosts in private TCP/IP networks. They also use a PBX/IVR system of telephone communica-
`tions, providing incoming callers with a well developed, interactive voice response system that connects
`to their PBX switchboard. This system allows them to have a fully functional automated phone system
`for their users, with little to no fuss or confusion, for a fraction of the price.
`
`“The most important factors in our choice were highlighted in what CommuniGate Systems has to offer.
`Unique reliability, outstanding performance, the open standards, and finally the interconnectivity between
`different vendors for numerous operations makes the CommuniGate Pro Application Server difficult to
`beat” states German Myzovsky, director of network development.
