More than 50 applications in one single platform
With more than 50 applications, Callisto is the world’s most comprehensive UCC platform. System integrators, service providers, and Enterprise customers deploy only one system and save drastically in operating costs:
- Reduce costs for evaluations, purchase, training, installation, process, operation, and support.
- Adding, updating, upgrading, or replacing Modules or Applications at runtime with no service interruption allows the upselling of additional Modules and reduces the project’s total costs.
- The open future-proof platform allows you to protect your investment over a more extended period (CAPEX) or reduce the port price (OPEX).
Modularity is the new flexibility
Select between a broad portfolio of off-the-shelf modules from our Module store or request a tailor-made or customized application for your customer-specific need in a Managed Service environment or your UCaaS Service.
Do you need additional modules for your customer projects later on? No problem! Select the module, license, upload, configure, and use; that’s it without any operations downtime and always with the same look & feel. Usually, no customer training is required due to the simple Callisto frontend.
Flexibility is the new modularity that guarantees the security of your and your customer’s investment.
Tailor-made applications
Callisto has no boundaries. The “Open Applications Management” concept allows you to upload customer-specific applications to the platform at runtime, without interruption. Define the needs and technical specs with your customer, and we implement the requirements quickly thanks to our development system CTMaker®.
The Callisto OAM concept differentiates us from any other application company in the market.
Save money and preserve the environment
The sustainable use of resources is becoming increasingly important for all of us. The CTModule developers have always paid attention to carefully handling the resources used by our products. Callisto manages the balancing act between highly scalable and resource-saving like no other system. The platform (a virtual appliance) can handle up to approx. 960 parallel calls with – depending on requirements – 2-6 GB RAM, 2-8 CPUs, and 80 GB HD.
That saves hardware resources and licensing costs and complies with the greenIT approach.
Simple and fast installation
You can set up your Callisto appliance in your virtual environment in just 1-4 hours and are prepared to go with the basic modules. There is no other OS, databases, or components installation: everything is already in Callisto. Just plug & play; the Callisto platform is ready to use instantly.
Additional advantages of the Callisto appliance concept:
- all components are pre-installed
- no additional costs and installation and licensing work of OS, databases, or other SW components
- high security due to a closed system with a hardened OS and firewall.
- simplicity and time savings in handling the entire system
Offer agility and value add with Callisto.
Service – A key factor
Service providers and system integrators must be able to fully trust and count on a manufacturer for quality and service. That ensures satisfaction in the supply chain and throughout the product’s lifetime. CTModule always considers services as part of the product. Therefore, our partners and customers consistently experience a dedicated, professional team for the following services:
- Consulting and pre-sales support for partners
- Engineering for customer-specific solutions
- Training for partners and customers
- Support (incl. 7/24) and maintenance, up to operational support
Build your solution with us
It was 2013 when a large cruise company considered replacing the UCM cluster on board their first ships with another PBX because the existing add-on applications were not working correctly. A well-known Cisco partner recognized the potential in the “Cruise” vertical market and contacted CTModule with concrete specifications. Six months later, the first ships were successfully equipped with the Callisto Cruise Collection.
Today, all major cruise lines equipped with Cisco have Callisto on board, from the largest – Symphony of the Seas – to the smallest – Celebrity Flora. The Cisco partner successfully equips most of the new buildings today.
