Introduction
The Procedure explains the changes to the storage of user files in WMS 6.05. Starting from this version, files are stored in a dedicated storage system, Company Data Storage (CDS), within the same AWS region as a PBX is running.
This 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 change prepares the system for upcoming analytics and AI features
Implementation Overview
Cloud PBXs
The dedicated storage feature is enabled by default on Cloud PBXs running on WMS 6.05. After the update to WMS 6.05, an automatic migration process is launched to move existing data from the local storage to the Company Data Storage. During the migration, the following data 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 is kept for seven days, ensuring continued access
Backups: The 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:
/usr/sbin/sync_data_to_data_storage.php
Running this script initiates the migration process, ensuring that data is securely transferred to the CDS.
Implementation Timeline
The implementation of the dedicated storage feature is planned according to the following schedule:
WMS Beta 6.05: The beta version 6.05.20231129.1 is currently ongoing, released on November 30, 2023
WMS Stable 6.05: The stable release is planned for February 1, 2024 (ETA)
