2. Examining Host Media Processing
Ruben Gary Martinez, Eicon Networks

3. The Wonders of HMP
Why HMP?
Board to Boardless
Considerations

4. Why HMP? Processors are getting faster and more stable
Arrival of reliable PSTN hosted service providers
Bandwidth is widely available
IT management can now support both telephony and data within one network
No server hardware limitations (a host can be any machine with a reliable processor)

5. Board to Boardless

6. IP migration path for HMP
Simple and Effective Call control
Single telephony API that allows to send and receive calls
No matter what the IP network talks
H.323, H.450, SIP, T.38, etc.
Powerful Media Processing
Detect tones, generate tones
Connect two calls, put them in conference
Seamless Connectivity
Native IP network, use Ethernet
Hybrid TDM/IP network, use Ethernet in combination with Analog, ISDN, E1/T1

7. HMP Application Interfaces
Via proprietary SDK
Via SIP
Via integrated DLL files
Via TAPI

8. It’s All About the Application

9. Be Aware What other applications will be running?
How will this affect my media processing?
What is the upper limitation of ports per… (voice, fax, video)?
Aren’t we processing media on the same network as our internet connection? Will our bandwidth suffer?
What about security?
What features do I need?

10. HMP future?
DSP based processor boards
Even faster host processors
