October 31, 2024

The Vodia On-Premise PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a versatile communication solution that enables businesses to manage calls efficiently within their own network. It supports various operating systems and minimizes resource use while offering features like conferencing, instant messaging, and integration with mobile and VoIP devices. This system emphasizes data privacy, allowing companies to maintain control over their information, and provides customizable options for enhanced productivity. With its robust architecture, the Vodia PBX ensures reliability and easy backups, making it an excellent choice for businesses aiming to modernize their communication infrastructure while reducing long-term costs.

What Is a PBX?

A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a system that handles and routes calls between a business location and a telephone network. It manages the communication for businesses with multiple extension lines, with the most scalable systems built to handle any capacity. The Vodia PBX goes beyond traditional systems by transforming devices, like mobile phones, laptops, tablets, PCs and standard VoIP phones, into versatile communication tools, accessible whether employees are in the office or working remotely.

On-Prem PBX

An on-premise PBX means the phone system’s server is physically located within your company’s building or property (on their premises). This system connects incoming calls to different departments via automated attendants and manages the entirety of a company’s voice traffic, including both outgoing and internal calls. For many businesses, this setup can be ideal, especially for established companies looking to modernize their communication infrastructure. On-premise PBX allows them to retain existing wiring and equipment, reducing installation costs.

Support Growth, Reduce Costs

If your business is seeking for a telephony solution that supports your current and future growth, on-premise might be the right choice. While these systems require an initial outlay for installation, over time it can reduce costs compared to cloud solutions by eliminating recurring per-user subscription fees. On-premise solutions offer more control over hardware, allowing businesses to select cost-effective options that meet their needs while integrating with existing infrastructure to further reduce installation expenses. Internal calls stay within the business network, lowering bandwidth expenses and in-house management of upgrades and maintenance cuts operational expenses.

System Control

Hosting an on-premise PBX means you have the ability to design a communication platform tailored specifically to your operational and customer needs. You’ll have control over the entire system, which means your costs remain consistent regardless of the number of users, maximizing your ROI (Return on Investment). 

The Vodia On-Prem PBX

For businesses that prefer a proprietary network, the Vodia on-premise PBX is the perfect solution - it runs on multiple operating systems, including Azure, CentOS, Debian, Linux, MacOS and Windows. Bare-bones setup or virtual environment? It works with both. The Vodia PBX gives you the freedom to select the operating system that suits your infrastructure, with no restrictions on location or business size. 

Your Data, Your Control

Vodia PBX integrates seamlessly with your network - all you need to do is add a single server, select your preferred operating system and hardware, and you are ready to go. We’ve designed our on-premise phone system to be the most cost-effective solution in the marketplace, thanks to its minimal resource requirements. You can even host our PBX on a standard server with a few gigabytes of memory, even for the most demanding of installations. 

We’ve designed our phone system to prioritize your data privacy - the Vodia PBX has no access to your server or to any of your data. This is a peerless level of control and invaluable, especially in environments where compliance is of tantamount importance. 

Robust and Reliable

To enhance reliability, you can virtualize your PBX server, ensuring automatic failover in case of hardware issues. And data backup is easy: you simply create a backup of the phone system’s working directory; if you use a network file system, versioning will give you your historical data, making it easy to roll back any required changes.
