With all the marketing noise centered around cloud and virtualization of communications networks, there are times when a dedicated appliance still makes the most sense. But why, when and how do you build a dedicated appliance? All topics we’ll address in today’s “FreeSBC How To Series” webinar.
We welcome you to the third of the FreeSBC webinar series.
A quick look back - This series started with an introductory session where we described the capabilities and services included in FreeSBC along with the unique business model. If you missed it, a recording of that session is available on the FreeSBC.com video library.
In this session we’ll continue the How To series, focusing on the installation and activation of the software on a bare metal server, creating an SBC appliance.
Before we begin, a little housekeeping: As a live event participant, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with today’s speakers and hope you do pose your questions and comments on today’s topic using the Q/A panel. To pose a question or comment, open the Q/A panel by clicking on the box in the upper left of your screen. We’ll cover your questions toward the end of the session.
We’ve found that some attendees may need to adjust the webinar View Options to see the full slide on your screen. If you are not seeing a full slide, move your mouse to the top of the webinar window and a View Option selection will appear – choose an option that best fits your screen.
Also, today’s event is being recorded and all those that have registered will received a link to the recording for on-demand playback. We hope you share the link with your co-workers and others that would find the discussion valuable.
Some introductions to get started:
I’m Alan Percy, Senior Director of Product Marketing for TelcoBridges and today’s event moderator. I’m responsible for driving awareness of the session border controller solutions from TelcoBridges. Oh, I should mention, I’m a bit of a computer history buff and you may find a few pictures from the past in today’s presentations. I hope you find them interesting.
Joining us again is Luc Morissette, Director of Customer Support and one of the founders of TelcoBridges. Luc, thanks for being a part of today’s event.
