Patent number: 9781168Abstract: The embodiments described herein recite a telephone communication system used for handling information such as messages, typically voice mail messages, and, more particularly, is directed to a system that provides distributed session initiation protocol (SIP) silos. Distributed SIP silos (DSS) is a Communications Application Platform (CAP) feature that maintains the site's call capacity even when a signaling server fails. DSS uses multiple non-redundant signaling servers to provide SIP signaling for the same set of media ports. Because there are multiple signaling servers providing signaling for the same set of ports, the failure of one signaling server only terminates the calls it was actively processing and once those calls have been cleaned up, all the available (non-suspended) ports in the configuration are available to the remaining signaling servers.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Inventors: Jon P Davis, Lynnette K Evans, Richard L Fuller, Gregory J Small, Scott S Preston

Publication number: 20140281673Abstract: A switch may be configured with multiple zones to provide access to an external storage to certain processing systems. For example, the switch may be configured with two zones, in which a first zone configuration provides access to the external storage for a first processing system and a second zone configuration provides access to the external storage for a second processing system. Thus, the switch may provide high availability of the external storage and allow seamless transition from one computer system to another computer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Unisys CorporationInventors: Lynnette K.
