\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA few months ago, the company Palosanto, manufacturers of Elastix<\/a>, announced that the Elastix 5 telephony engine will be powered by 3CX<\/a>, the leading developer of software-based PBX.\n\nIn the first instance, uncertainty was generated for the entire community working with Elastix, as well as for us 3CX Partners, as the consequences were not entirely clear.\n\nIt is worth mentioning that Elastix had over 100,000 installations worldwide and tens of thousands of monthly downloads.\n\nAs the months passed, the situation became clearer, and we are now in a position to analyze what is to come and clarify any doubts that may arise.\n\nWe believe, just like the words from Edgar Landivar, CEO of Palosanto:<\/em><\/strong>\n
\u201cElastix users are the ones who benefit the most from this decision.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\nThis will undoubtedly be the case, 3CX is easy to use and has the necessary features for today's business environment. We must accept that Elastix had its advantages, but also its limitations.\n
\u201cWe are honoured to have 3CX power Elastix 5. Elastix is an already established PBX with a massive following \u2013 and to be chosen to power the next version of Elastix is a great recognition of the quality of our PBX and the great work done by our development team.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\nNick Galea, CEO of 3CX <\/em><\/strong>\n
\u201cWe were considering a change of telephony engine for some time. 3CX PBX is easy to use, open standards and feature rich. With the recent release of its Linux version, as well as the free PBX Edition, it is the perfect choice to power Elastix. The 3CX WebRTC video conferencing engine is particularly impressive.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\nEdgar Landivar, CEO of Palosanto<\/em><\/strong>\n

FAQs<\/h1>\n

Can users continue using Elastix?<\/h5>\nYes, they can do so with version 4 and below, but these are no longer supported since the release of Elastix 5. Due to this recent development, any version prior to Elastix 5 is considered insecure and has limited features compared to its successor, Elastix 5.\n
What does Elastix version 5 entail?<\/h5>\nElastix 5 is the name given to migrating from previous versions of Elastix to 3CX software. It means that you can access all the improvements and benefits that 3CX has to offer.\n
Why should I migrate?<\/h5>\nWe advise you to migrate to ensure the security and support of your communications. In addition, it will provide your company with a communications experience unlike any other. You can learn about the benefits of 3CX here.\n
