Enterprise VoIP PBX phone system we build, host and run ourselves

HBE Yakabit's own Enterprise VoIP PBX, developed in-house and recently upgraded with more than 80 features our customers asked for. It runs on our own servers in our own datacenter, and every desk phone, wireless handset and softphone arrives set up and ready: plug it in, or scan a code, and it works.

Built to stay up. Backed up to never lose.

Your phone system runs on HBE Yakabit's own equipment, in our own racks, managed by our own engineers, designed around two promises: your service stays up, and your data is never lost.

  • Nightlyencrypted backups of every system
  • 3 copiesof every backup, kept offsite
  • 2 sitesour datacenter plus a separate backup center

Offsite backup center

A separate, redundant storage facility away from the datacenter.

1copy2copy3copy

Every backup is stored in triplicate, so no single failure, fire or flood can take your data with it.

Built with no single point of failure

Mirrored drives, battery backup and a monitored generator, dual air conditioning, separate systems for each service, and every backup kept in three copies at a second site.

Inside the datacenter

  • Enterprise rack serversRack-mounted servers with redundant RAID 10 storage. Every drive is mirrored, so a failed drive is swapped out with no downtime and no data loss.
  • Battery backup powerBackup power supplies keep every server running the instant the power drops, with no interruption to calls.
  • On-site generatorA monitored generator takes over for longer outages, so the datacenter keeps running for as long as it takes.
  • Dual redundant coolingTwo air conditioning units, each able to cool the room alone. If one fails or is serviced, the other carries on.
  • Temperature alertsRoom and server temperatures are watched continuously, with alerts to our engineers long before heat becomes a problem.
  • Separate systemsEach service runs on its own system, linked by a private internal network the internet can't reach, so a problem in one area stays there.
  • Snapshots before changesOur servers are virtualized. Before any significant change we take a snapshot, so a whole system can be rolled back in minutes.
  • Watched 24/7Servers, services, power and connections are checked around the clock, and our engineers are alerted the moment something looks wrong.

Your data, protected at every step

  1. 1Backed up nightly

    Settings, voicemail, recordings, databases and configuration on every system are copied each night.

  2. 2Encrypted first

    Each backup is encrypted before it leaves the server. The key to open it is never kept on our servers.

  3. 3Locked in the vault

    Backups land on a separate backup server and are locked, so they can't be changed or deleted, even by ransomware.

  4. 4Three copies offsite

    Backups are copied to our separate, redundant offsite backup center and kept there in triplicate.

Security

  • Encrypted callsDesk phone and softphone calls are encrypted in transit, and desk phones connect over a private encrypted network.
  • Firewalls and automatic blockingEvery server is firewalled, and repeated bad login attempts are blocked automatically.
  • Two-step sign-inFor HBE engineers, with every change to customer settings logged.
  • Private by defaultCall recordings, transcripts and faxes are kept encrypted on HBE's own systems, never handed to an outside service, designed with HIPAA in mind.

Monitoring & response

  • Watched around the clockServers, services, connections, power, and room and server temperatures are checked continuously.
  • Backups are checked tooIf any system misses its nightly backup, an alert goes out the same day.
  • Central audit logsSystem logs are copied to separate logging servers, so there is always a clear record of what happened and when.
  • Local engineersThe people who built the system are the people who run it, and the people you talk to.

If something does go wrong

A failed drive is replaced while the server keeps running. A power outage is carried by battery backup and the generator; a failed air conditioner is covered by the second unit. A failed change is rolled back from a snapshot, and a failed server is rebuilt from last night's backup. If the whole datacenter were lost, three copies of everything are waiting at the offsite backup center. And if your own office internet goes down, your number keeps answering: callers still get your menu and voicemail, and calls can go to a cell phone.

One local company, end to end

HBE Yakabit owns and runs the whole stack: the network, the servers, the phone system, the portal and the backups. No white-label resale, no finger-pointing between vendors. When you call, you reach the people who run it.
