A fight to the finish with VUC’s resident VoIP skeptic Dave Michels and Mike Oeth, CEO of Junction Networks (OnSIP.com) on choosing between hosted and on-premises pbx.
What are the arguments for and against a hosted pbx for your business. Are they different for small and larger business pbx choices?
Dave and Mike fight it out with the help of referee Michael Graves and the roar of the crowd.

I missed this call, which is a shame, but I have a question –
How come _no_one_ brought up the previous talk and asked about security? Surely Hosted VoIP is much harder to secure? I admit you have the support of the supplier, but still it _must_ be riskier than on premises ?
Riskier for the host, yes. A small business has no resources to deal with security at all, so either they depend on buying the pbx and a serious service contract, or a hosted system. The challenges of the latter are many, since by definition, a lot of scans and break in attempts are hitting the server all the time. When I was running Atserisk (as root) it would have been too easy for someone to exploit it. Fortunately, no one tried.
