Modern VoIP systems are totally dependent on the Internet to function properly. However, if there is an internet failure, the Providers of the VoIP service have fallback facilities. Thus, companies can define what needs to happen when the target device is not online.

So, technically, the VoIP system can still run while the internet is down. This mechanism is called failover protection and can be activated without any human intervention. It means other options are considered in such a case, backup lines are attached that are analog lines for routing calls when there is no internet. As soon as the internet is up and running back again, the phone lines will be connected to Digital. Thus, the Hosted system maintains a smooth flow of communication and makes sure no calls are missed while there are technical issues including the internet being down.

A cloud PBX costs less than an On-Premises setup. When it comes to cost comparisons, the on-premises setup requires initial setup costs. This includes the infrastructure costs and the cost of setting up by hiring an expert. In the case of a Hosted PBX solution, all the setup, installation, and maintenance is handled at the Provider’s end. The On-premises setup adds to the maintenance cost since the maintenance and hardware up-gradation has to be done by the business itself. In addition to this, the security requirements of the communication lines also demand an additional cost. In the case of a Hosted setup, the security and maintenance are provided from the Provider’s end.

Cloud-based communications and cloud-first approach always leads to better productivity and cheaper rates in the long run.

Thus, Clearing Cache is an important task which, by default, Microsoft Teams hasn’t introduced in its current interface. Today, we’ll walk you through the process of Clearing Cache in Microsoft Teams for better usability and user experience.

How to Clear Cache in Microsoft Teams?

Although, the feature is requested, till the time Teams include that in their application, we present a workaround for that. You can clear the cache and speed up Teams performance by following the below-mentioned steps in Windows 10.
