IXC Softswitch V6 — performance, security, and cloud-ready operations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Miami, Florida — 18 May 2026 — IXC Software Distribution Corp. (™ IXC Softswitch) today announced IXC Softswitch V6, a major release focused on VoIP stability, economics, operational safety, and cloud-ready deployments.
IXC Softswitch V6 targets what wholesale and retail VoIP providers measure every day: ASR/ACD, PDD, fraud exposure, CPU headroom, and clean call completion. Depending on VoIP traffic profile and infrastructure, operators can target roughly 30–50% improvement in profit-related outcomes through fewer stability incidents, tighter resource usage, and faster remediation cycles.
🛠️ Core platform fix
- Silent lost calls and CPU overload addressed so switching stays stable under real voice load.
- DDoS protection strengthened—including against spoofed / abusive SIP floods—to cut attack-driven overload and emergency firefighting.
⚡ Speed — seconds for ops, hours for product
- Operational updates designed to land in seconds.
- Features and fixes move from decision to deployment in hours; broader initiatives typically days, replacing multi-day release friction.
📊 Monitoring rebuilt (CPU + events, not inbox noise)
- Legacy flows that dumped 50,000–100,000 emails/day are gone — humans cannot supervise that. Event-based monitoring with CPU visibility.
- Messenger/email only for critical and preventable events — not routine noise.
- Removed risky debug-by-default paths (DB, disk, logs) that created holes and operator errors; controlled remote diagnostics instead of ad-hoc production debugging.
🔐 Stack updates
- PostgreSQL, Ruby, Rails on current supported lines to close known vulnerability classes.
🐧 Linux deployments (incl. Ubuntu)
- IXC Softswitch now runs on Linux — not only on FreeBSD — with tested deployment paths including full Ubuntu support for simpler installs and long-term maintenance.
☁️ Google Cloud–ready (+ better voice transit)
- Practical upgrade from manual, limited Hetzner-style hosting (hand-stitched DB, backups, scaling).
- Managed PostgreSQL in GCP — not only a VM — automatic backups and HA patterns that avoid classic slave-only DB sprawl for many installs.
- Premium network for call transit quality; one-click-style CPU/HDD scale within provider limits.
📖 Docs: 24/7 manual + interactive assistant
- New 24/7 manual with an interactive assistant to cut MTTR for NOC and engineering.

"V6 is a step-change for our clients on two fronts that matter in VoIP: profitability and security. We eliminated a core class of stability problems—including silent call loss and CPU overload—strengthened DDoS protection, replaced unmanageable email monitoring with event-driven signals, and made it realistic to ship fixes and features in hours to days while keeping production observable,"
