ITExpo Podcast - Conversation with Serge Forest from Paraxip
On Monday, September 10, 2007 I had the opportunity to meet with Serge Forest from Paraxip Technologies. Serge is the President and CEO of Paraxip and just a genuinely fascinating guy to talk with. Paraxip's NetBorder solution is something I haven't seen anyone else doing. They're taking session border controller functionality and, rather than selling a hardware unit, virtualizing it in software. This approach obviously delivers some different scalability metrics than a hardware approach, but it opens up a new market segment I think is huge.
Virtualizing in software means small and medium businesses, who don't have the resoruces or finances for a lot of dedicated hardware, can bundle applications and services into server technology. It means niche VoIP service providers can virtualize multiple SBCs, for multiple customers, in a single unit. I think Paraxip's solution is going to postiviely rock some segments of the market.
Thanks to my good friend and business partner Sheryl Breuker for taking pictures of our conversation. I'm including a few of those here. And thanks again to my friend Sheldon Rose at Sacke & Associates for the always awesome connection to an interesting client.
