Why QueueMetrics Live?

●The classic, on premise QueueMetrics model works well, but

is not ideally suited to every scenario:

●Appliances: too underpowered

●Cloud Providers: running too many instances

●Integrators: hands-off solution

●For some clients, semplicity wins

–One simple monthly pricing model

–No surprises: we do it all

–Grows with you

Why QueueMetrics Live?

Over the years, we had a number of requests for

adding QueueMetrics to appliances....

QM on appliances?

CONs

●QueueMetrics needs significant

computing resources to run into

●QueueMetrics requires an administrator

for initial set up.

●Need for sysadmin tasks – upgrading to

current versions, backing up the system,

etc.

●Typical solution was deploying QM on a

separate local server, but was often

unacceptable

PROs

●Asterisk-based appliances often run

small support lines on remote branches

– need for statistics

●Asterisk based appliances are today

quite powerful and can scale up quite a

bit.

●Lack of statistics reduces the possible

deployment scenarios.

Hosted QM to the rescue

●Add a simple loader script to the appliance

●Written in Go, very lightweight, works with any distro

●Loader pushes data securely to the QM cloud

●Built to be extremely reliable even in case of errors

●Derived from battle-tested qloaderd

●Users access QM from the web – can see the current state from

anywhere and interact with the PBX

●Administration, upgrades, backups are done by Loway

Cloud-based call-centres are often based on Asterisk technology, so

QueueMetrics is a natural choice...

experience to integrate them

up all those instances

grade solutions
