The Procedure explains the changes to the storage of user files in WMS 6.05. Starting from this version, files will be are stored in a dedicated storage system, Company Data Storage (CDS), within the same AWS region as a PBX is running.

This shift change is driven by several factors:

  • Change in Long-Term Storage Policy: We're updating the policy to offer our customers a centralized and scalable solution for system performance optimization

  • Improved Reliability: By moving to a dedicated storage, we aim to enhance system reliability

...

  • Improved Failover Capabilities: Storing files in a dedicated cloud environment improves the system's ability to switch to backup resources during disruptions

  • Preparations for Analytics and AI features: The

Implementation Overview

Cloud PBXs

The dedicated storage feature will be is enabled by default on Cloud PBXs running on WMS 6.05. For Virtual Machine and Hardware PBXs, admins can enable this feature when there is a WMS Network present. For users who want to make the switch manually before WMS 6.05, the option is available to activate this feature in advance. After the update to WMS 6.05, an automatic migration process will be run is launched to move existing data from the local storage to the Company Data Storage. During the migration, the following data will be is moved:

  • Call Recordings
    For users who have integrations that directly access recordings from PBX, we offer two options:

    • API for retrieving recordings: Access recordings through the API endpoint: GET /api/v1/pbx/recordings.

    • 7 day local copy: A local copy of recordings will be is kept for seven days, ensuring continued access.

  • Backups: The shift change includes the transfer of backups, ensuring the preservation and accessibility during disruptions

  • Voicemails and Faxes: Implementation for the shift of voicemails and faxes will be introduced in upcoming releases

Virtual and Hardware PBXs

For Virtual Machine and Hardware PBXs, admins can enable this feature when there is WMS Network present. To enable it and transfer data to the CDS, you need to run the following script via Terminal:

Code Block
/usr/sbin/sync_data_to_data_storage.php

Running this script initiates the migration process, ensuring that data is securely transferred to the CDS.
