Hosted UC
Cloud-based unified communication is our fastest growing deployment, particularly for small and medium sized organizations. But the choice between hosted, on-premises or hybrid UC can be complicated.
You’ve got options. We’re here to guide you.
What’s the difference between hosted, on-premises
and hybrid UC?
You’re not alone if you are struggling to understand which UC deployment to choose. Here’s how we break down the differences:
On-premises UC
- Upfront expenses include phone hardware, rack space, data center power
- Higher deployment costs
- Upgrades and enhancements can be costly and time-consuming
- Will require on-staff UC administrator
- May involve several service contracts
- Additional costs for software licensing and hardware maintenance
- Generally does not support redundancy
Hosted UC
- Low CapEx: only outlay required is to purchase phones (phone rental is an option, too)
- Low deployment costs (usually run on existing IP connection)
- Reduces the need for on-staff UC administrator
- Easily upgraded with new features and services
- Software updates are automatic
- Predictable monthly fee
- Often a single service contract
- Can be part of a disaster recovery plan
Hybrid UC – Exclusively offered by ShoreTel
- On-premises server supports your IP phones
- New locations can be provisioned with cloud service
- Other UC services (such as mobility and call centers) can be delivered virtually via the cloud
- All users share the same user experience like 4-digit dialing, call transfer and conference calling
- Reduces capital expenses while leveraging current investments that have not yet fully depreciated
- Ideal if you want to retain an onsite installation and grow into a future all-cloud deployment on your own terms
