CRP Overview

The device's Cloud Resilience Package (CRP) application enhances cloud- based or hosted
communications environments by ensuring survivability, high voice quality and security at
enterprise branch offices and cloud service customer premises. CRP is designed to be deployed at
customer sites and branches of:
■ Cloud-based and hosted communications
■ Cloud-based or hosted contact-center services
■ Distributed PBX or unified communications deployments
The CRP application is based on the functionality of the SBC application, providing branch offices
with call routing and survivability support. CRP is implemented in a network topology where the
device is located at the branch office, routing calls between the branch users, and/or between the
branch users and other users located elsewhere (at headquarters or other branch offices), through a
hosted server (IP PBX) located at the Enterprise's headquarters. The device maintains call
continuity even if a failure occurs in communication with the hosted IP PBX.

For cloud providers, CRP ensures uninterrupted communications in the event of lost connection
with the cloud providers' control systems. For distributed enterprises and contact centers, CRP is
an essential solution for enterprises deploying geographically distributed communications solutions
or distributed call centers with many branch offices. CRP ensures the delivery of internal and
external calls even when the connection with the centralized control servers is lost.
