Digium Breaks New Ground

By Tim Gray


As Digium (News - Alert) continues to expand its rapidly growing open source telephony business, it has also been forced to expand its facilities. This week, the Asterisk(R) Company announced the grand opening of a new corporate headquarters.

Digium, which has called Huntsville home since its founding in 1999 and is the leading worldwide provider of open source VoIP solutions, l hosted Tuesday a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new facility.

"Digium is experiencing exciting growth as more and more businesses realize the technical superiority, flexibility and low cost of open source VoIP solutions," said Danny Windham, president and CEO of Digium.

Digium has been making moves of late in the open-source community it helped create by buying one of the vendors that has built an IP-PBX on its Asterisk VoIP platform.

The company last month acquired Switchvox (News - Alert), one of the many SMB-focused vendors that have cropped up in recent years with products built on top of Digium's open-source Asterisk VoIP software. Digium is the primary developer of Asterisk.

"Switchvox gives us a more complete solution that scales to several hundred users," Bill Miller (News - Alert), vice president of product management and marketing at Digium,  ina statement at the time.. "It's a turnkey solution that doesn't require as much expertise to install. Many installations are done remotely."

The expansion is a logical extension of the company’s inroads in this space.

 "We are extremely thankful to the Huntsville community for contributing to our current and future success and look forward to even greater things as we occupy our new state-of-the-art facility."

The Digium ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. with Chamber of Commerce Officer Evan Quinlivan serving as master of ceremonies.

The ceremony will include speeches from Huntsville Mayor Loretta Spencer, Digium Founder and CTO Mark Spencer (News - Alert), Digium President and CEO Danny Windham and Clay Smith, son of the late ADTRAN CEO and Digium board member, Mark C. Smith. Lunch and tours of the new facility will be offered immediately following the ceremony.

Digium's new facility will also feature Huntsville's Aroma coffee shop which will be located on the first floor and will serve freshly brewed coffee and pastries daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
