1. A method of providing software developers with a stable platform on which a telecommunications application can be developed for a variety of hardware systems, the method comprising:

  • providing an interface so that a user may log in;

    accessing an account associated with the user;

    automatically detecting hardware resources resident on a local system that are related to telecommunications;

    pooling the detected hardware resources into related virtual pools;

    establishing contact with remote systems and obtaining a status of the resources available on the remote systems;

    detecting one or more telecommunications applications associated with the user;

    allocating the available local resources among telecommunications applications that are associated with the user;

    providing an application program interface (API) to a telecommunications applications that enables the telecommunications application to communicate with underlying hardware and remote systems, where the API further automatically compensates for a change in the underlying hardware such that the telecommunications application continues to communicate with the underlying hardware without change to the telecommunications application;

    re-allocating available local resources in response to an imbalance between telecommunications-related resources allocated and telecommunications-related resources consumed; and

    requesting and receiving resources from a remote system in response to an inadequacy in locally available resources.
