The Organization
Greek
School Network is a service offered by the Greek Ministry of Education for the
communication between all school students, teachers, schools and
administration.
The Need
The Greek
School Network needed to create a Unified Communications Environment for all
its members to communicate through Voice, Instant Messaging, Conferencing,
Presence and Video Calls. They needed to implement this with the minimum cost,
taking advantage of scale benefits offered by open source technologies.
The Solution
Exelysis Unified
Communication Solution (EUCS) was implemented, together with the OpenSIPs
technology. This combination allowed all Unified Communication Services to be
offered through minimum virtual infrastructure with high performance and
service standards.
The Benefits
Greek
School Network was deployed for 1.5 million users and 3,500 locations.
Its members
were able to communicate in different modern ways, creating a true network.
It was
implemented at a relatively low cost and with high scalability.
Its
performance standards reached very high levels, with each virtual server being
able to handle 6,000 new interactions per second.
