Also, I agree with this stance. There's nothing wrong with a pure-SIP
service delivery platform; Broadsoft is doing just fine. :-)

Bringing the calls into Enswitch over a hard circuit depends on TDM
support that - for all the evolution of the technology over the last few
years - is still sometimes flaky, and limits the scalability, dynamic
organisation and high availability of the platform. Specifically, it
ties call acceptance (and perhaps processing) to a particular host into
which the circuit is plugged.

It is much wiser to use outside TDM->SIP gateways. They are more
robust, have lower mean time between failure, interoperate better, and
allow the platform the fluidity of existing in a pure IP space.
