The PBX, also known as the public branch exchange, this tends to be hardware that is usually stored on site. These systems can usually be very costly for businesses, as they can require special storage facilities, regular repairs and maintenance.

Hosted IP PBX/ Cloud PBX moves the function of the on-site PBX hardware into the cloud. Whereas the PBX connects phones to on-site phone lines, Cloud PBX connects your phones via the IP and then connects to secure data centres. All calls across the Cloud PBX can are run through the IP/ internet protocol. With a cloud PBX, you get all the features of an on-premise PBX but so much more, cloud PBX systems tend to work seamlessly and with clear voice clarity.
