Bring VOIP home with CudaTel

2013/04/22
Normally I'm encouraging people to leverage cloud computing to lower costs, but here's an example where the opposite may be true. Voice over IP (VoIP) is another example of a service that might come back in-house at his company. Windward IT uses a cloud service for $3,500 a month, but the recent release of the CudaTel VoIP switch appliance by Barracuda Networks has given him pause. CudaTel costs $4,000 as a one-time capital expenditure. Tack on an estimated $500 a month for a cloud-based Session Initiation Protocol provider for call transfers, and the return on investment (ROI) would be realized in just a few months. That's from a recent Tech Target article discussing how cloud ROI is diminishing due to several factors: *Cloud migration costs + monthly fees *Cloud pricing wars may be coming to an end *Hardware is becoming super cheap *VOIP technology like CudaTel is making it easy to host your own These factors come together to make on-premise computing and private clouds more attractive. Especially in situations where there is already a considerable infrastructure in place. The article goes on to mention that some organizations will put certain services in the cloud for a few months just to measure use and determine the proper provisioning. Then they'll bring the function back on-premise with a better idea of the necessary resources. No over-provisioning necessary.
