Part 2](https://blog.2600hz.com/why-erlang-part-2) Last week in [Why Erlang? Part 1](https://blog.2600hz.com/why-erlang), we talked about some basics when it comes to Erlang, KAZOO, and single-server software. If you haven't read it already, make sure you do so before reading Part 2. Ready? Let's dive in! **Adding data centers** Now that the software has a shared database and the SPOFs have been addressed, the software needs to consider communicating over a wider area network (WAN) -...

Recently, there have been a plethora of network outages that have many UCaaS and CPaaS resellers questioning the redundancy setups and protocols of the solution they’re selling, and for good reason.

The acquisition gives Cisco UCaaS capabilities via BroadSoft’s BroadWorks and BroadCloud services, which Cisco will likely tie into their own communications solution, Spark.   [Read More](https://blog.2600hz.com/why-the-broadsoft-acquisition-is-disrupting-cloud-communications) [![](https://blog.2600hz.com/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-14%20at%2012.09.10%20PM.png)](https://blog.2600hz.com/distributed-system-vs-a-hot-standby) [ARCHITECTURE](https://blog.2600hz.com/topic/architecture) July 14, 2017 ## [Distributed System vs a Hot Standby](https://blog.2600hz.com/distributed-system-vs-a-hot-standby) Across the communications industry, it’s fairly common to hear or read about “distributed systems”.
