Hybrid communications system and method of operation
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:
- providing account enable data from a multi-tenant hosted communication system to a given premises based communication system of a plurality of premises based communication systems, the multi-tenant hosted communication system being operated by an entity different from the given premises based communication system and including a cloud resource, the cloud resource being compatible with the plurality of different premises based communication systems and hosted within the multi-tenant hosted communication system;
receiving configuration data at the multi-tenant hosted communication system from the given premises based communication system, the configuration data including the account enable data and user data describing properties of each of a plurality of users in the given premises based communication system;
providing enablement data from the multi-tenant hosted communication system to the given premises based communication system to identify the cloud resource in the multi-tenant hosted communication system configured for the plurality of users based on the configuration data;
configuring a client access router at the given premises based communication system to provide a secure connection with a client access router termination at the multi-tenant hosted communication system, the secure connection further providing a mechanism for the given premises based communication system to access and utilize the cloud resource in the multi-tenant hosted communication system;
creating a virtual private cloud in the multi-tenant hosted communication system that is connected with the given premises based communication system through the secure connection between the client access router and the client access router termination; and
synchronizing changes in the enablement data based on changes in the configuration data received from the given premises based communication system via the secure connection.

Abstract
A method includes providing account enable data from a multi-tenant hosted communication system to a premises based communications system. The method also includes receiving user configuration data at a remote portal of the hosted communications system, the configuration data including the account enable data and user data describing properties of each of a plurality of users in the premises based communications system including at least one user group to which a subset of the users belongs. The method also includes providing enablement data to the premises based communications system via the portal to identify which resources in the multi-tenant hosted system are enabled for the plurality of users in the premises based communications system based on the user configuration data. Changes in the enablement data further can be synchronized based on changes in the user configuration data received from the premises based communications system via the portal.
