System and method for handling resource failure in a hybrid contact center operations environment
First Claim
1. A method for providing failover capabilities in a hybrid operations environment including a first operations environment and a second operations environment, the method comprising:
- receiving registration information for an agent device at a first controller in a first operations environment, wherein the first controller is a standby controller;
transmitting, by the first controller, the registration information to a second controller in a second operations environment, wherein the second controller is a primary controller, wherein the first operations environment is a contact center premise and the second operations environment is geographically remote from the contact center premise;
receiving at a media gateway an inbound call;
determining whether the second controller, which is geographically remote from the agent device, is available;
in response to determining that the second controller is available, signaling the media gateway to route the inbound call to the agent device based on the registration information stored in the second controller; and
in response to determining that the second controller is not available, transmitting a request to the first controller in the first operations environment for routing the call to the agent device.

Abstract
A system for providing failover capabilities in a hybrid operations environment including a first operations environment and a second operations environment includes a first controller in a first operations environment configured to receive registration information for an agent device, and a second controller in a second operations environment configured to receive the registration information from the first controller. The first controller is a stand-by controller and the second controller is a primary controller. In response to determining that the second controller is not available for routing an inbound call, a media gateway is configured to transmit a request to the first controller in the first operations environment for routing the call to the agent device.

-
a first controller in a first operations environment configured to receive registration information for an agent device, wherein the first controller is a standby controller; a second controller in a second operations environment configured to receive the registration information from the first controller, wherein the second controller is a primary controller, wherein the first operations environment is a contact center premise and the second operations environment is geographically remote from the contact center premise, wherein in response to determining that the second controller is available, signaling a media gateway to route the inbound call to the agent device based on the registration information stored in the second controller, wherein, in response to determining that the second controller, which is geographically remote from the agent device, is not available for routing an inbound call, the media gateway is configured to transmit a request to the first controller in the first operations environment for routing the call to the agent device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
