Architecture

CARIN Hosted is a deployment model whereby a service provider or enterprise can "host and manage" call recorders for many tenants on a non-dedicated, shared infrastructure. Usually the same service provider hosts and operates the underlying VoIP infrastructure for the tenants as well.

Each Virtual Environment is created by the service provider within the CARIN Hosted solution. The service provider can configure the Virtual Environment by specifying which IP end-points (extensions) can have call recording, the recording modes and options together with the allowed administration authority for the tenant. CARIN Hosted ensures that the service provider can stay in control while delegating certain administrative functions to the tenant.
