Enterprise Voice & Systems SRE|Avaya Aura & Hyperconverged HA

Engineering carrier-grade telecom systems & autonomous SRE pipelines.

Hi, I’m Phongthep Phimthong (Captain) — Senior Systems Engineer at JADS COMM. I design 99.999% SLA Avaya voice cores, VMware/Proxmox virtual architectures, and deterministic AI telemetry.

Featured Engineering Architectures

Mission-critical infrastructure architectures designed, deployed, and verified in enterprise production environments.

Distributed Voice Core•Production Verified

Multi-DC Avaya Aura® Voice Core & ASBCE Cluster

Carrier-grade 99.999% SLA telephony infrastructure engineered for tier-1 financial and corporate enterprises.

The Challenge & Constraints

Financial institutions and mission-critical contact centers faced catastrophic loss of revenue during data center failovers, requiring sub-second trunk failover without tearing down active calls or losing agent registrations.

Engineering Architecture

Active/Standby Avaya Communication Manager (CM 10/8.1) cluster with Session Manager (SM) SIP proxy routing, ASBCE perimeter encryption (SRTP/TLS 1.3), and dual-homed BGP SIP trunks across geographically separated data centers.

Autonomous AI Voice & PBX Telemetry Pipeline

Real-time event-driven telemetry and incident triage system bridging Asterisk/Yeastar PBX logs with AI root-cause analysis.

The Challenge & Constraints

Voice engineers spent hours manually parsing SIP packet captures after intermittent audio dropouts or 503 Service Unavailable spikes, delaying emergency restoration and SLA compliance.

Engineering Architecture

Event-driven microservice streaming AMI/ARI logs and sngrep PCAP rings into an n8n workflow engine. An AI reasoning node correlates SIP response patterns with network jitter buffers and pushes root-cause solutions to Telegram within 800ms.

Infrastructure & Virtualization•Production Verified

High-Availability Enterprise Hypervisor Cluster

Redundant VMware vSphere and Proxmox VE hyperconverged infrastructure engineered for zero-downtime voice nodes.

The Challenge & Constraints

Single-server hardware deployments suffered from unbudgeted maintenance windows and high recovery time objectives (RTO > 4 hours) during storage controller failures.

Engineering Architecture

Dual-cluster virtual infrastructure with Proxmox VE & VMware ESXi 8.0, featuring Ceph distributed storage, 10GbE vSwitch uplinks, automated VM live migration, and microsegmented VoIP VLANs.

Enterprise SIP Perimeter Defense & Threat Gateway

Stateful border security gateway mitigating automated SIP brute-force scans, ghost calls, and volumetric UDP floods.

The Challenge & Constraints

Public IP SIP trunks constantly targetted by automated SIP scanners (e.g. friendly-scanner, sipvicious), generating false ring alerts and PBX resource exhaustion.

Engineering Architecture

Stateful ASBCE perimeter combined with dynamic kernel-level nftables/iptables rate-limiting, TLS 1.3 mutual auth, and real-time SIP message inspection rejecting malformed User-Agents.
