Media Resource Server

Designed for scalability and resiliency, the MetaSphere Media Resource Server (MRS) has been purpose-built to deliver media resource functions for MetaSphere telephony application server (MTAS) solutions. Optimized for advanced NGN VoIP infrastructures, the MetaSphere MRS leverages the ubiquitous session initiation protocol (SIP), combined with the powerful but efficient media server markup language (MSML) to deliver customizable multi-service, audio features.

Open Architecture

Metaswitch is dedicated to delivering voice services based on open and extensible standards. The MRS provides IMS-optimized media resource functionality across all network infrastructures, including wireline, wireless, broadband, cable or satellite.

Scalability

Each individual 1RU MetaSphere MRS instance simultaneously serves up to 650 concurrent active call legs, supporting up to 78,000 busy hour call attempts (BHCA). By simply adding additional appliances, the MRS scales to cost-effectively deliver voice applications from a single site to large, highly distributed, multi-location network infrastructures.

Reliability

The NEBS Level 3-certified MetaSphere Media Resource Server has been designed for over 99.999% (“five nines”) reliability. A fully redundant media resource function layer can be achieved cost-effectively by deploying a single N+1 pool of, optionally geographically distributed, MRS platforms supporting multiple, distinct MetaSphere telephony application server platforms.
