Hybrid deployment offers the best of both worlds by combining the reliability and control of on-premise with the flexibility and scalability of an entirely cloud-based solution.
The hybrid platform includes a local controller hardware solution on the hotel property that maintains the PMS connectivity, stores the guest information, and supports any guest room phone devices. At the same time, the external calls and administrative IP phone devices are connected to the cloud system. It is an all-in-one platform, ensuring continuous operation even if the internet or cloud system experiences downtime. This resilience is achieved by relying on an on-premise local controller appliance that maintains the guest system and connectivity with the Property Management System (PMS). The hotel's internal connection is stable with failover infrastructure to maintain phone services with connectivity to either backup traditional line services or the SIP Trunking connection that has the flexibility to connect to the cloud system or the internal guest system-ensuring that calls can still be made and received within the hotel even when connectivity is disrupted.
The hybrid setup provides hotels with the advantages of retaining existing legacy guestroom phones, on-site dependability, and redundancy while also offering remote access and simplified scalability, making it a versatile choice to traditional on-premise and fully hosted alternatives.
