SIP is a voice over IP protocol that shows up in many of the latest and greatest phones from the best phone equipment manufacturers. Many people think that VOIP phone calls are cheap and low quality but SIP trunks provide higher quality of service and sound great. SIP phones also offer the most advanced new features and lowest overall cost structure. My company does not sell but does use SIP phone equipment.

Computer servers and storage area networks or Sans require controlled power, temperature, humidity, security, and high bandwidth environments. Co-location of this equipment in a carrier neutral data center allows access to these features at a much lower cost.
