DATUS indali is a family of IP PBX systems from DATUS AG: indali S (small), indali M (medium) and indali V, a virtual, fully redundant machine for higher availability requirements. The systems run on the Certified Asterisk Edition and a hardened Linux, support SIP-compliant phones from various manufacturers and offer autoprovisioning, hot desking, ACD queues, pickup groups and a web-based management interface, among other features. Optional extras include linking sites over VPN, CTI integration and central operator positions. The vendor targets banks, insurers, public authorities and business customers.
DATUS AG is headquartered in Aachen, Germany, and was founded in 1970; its website names no foreign parent company. The PBX runs on dedicated hardware or virtually in the customer's own environment, so call and configuration data stays under the organisation's control. The vendor points to the open-source basis of the systems, which it says allows vendor-independent use. The product itself is not open-source software. This lets European organisations run business telephony themselves, without a hosted service from a non-European provider.
