Alianza, AWS Partner to Power Cloud Communications Services

SaaS

Alianza, Inc., a cloud communications platform for service providers, has announced it is entering a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver and monetize voice and cloud communications services for CSPs.

The goal is to help modernize telcos by migrating workloads to the AWS cloud environment as legacy infrastructure reaches end-of-life. In a statement, the company said that core communications networks are one of the last bastions of legacy software and on-premises infrastructure.

Alianza Cloud Communications Platform enables CSPs to replace their entire softswitch-based VoIP networks and TDM legacy hardware to launch new UCaaS and cloud communication products for reduced cost and simplified operations as well as improved customer experience, according to the statement.

Rather than moving individual workloads, such as session border controllers or voicemail to public cloud infrastructure, Alianza's Cloud Communications Platform offers an entire communications infrastructure in a single, comprehensive software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for CSPs.

The solution is generally available in North America and has already been deployed by more than 100 CSPs including tier-1 and nationwide operators Lumen, Brightspeed, Bluepeak, Xplore, and Viasat.
