We showed that anybody can  deploy, integrate and scale a telecom solution in minutes on any public cloud, private cloud or bare-metal server with [Juju](https://juju.ubuntu.com). Traditionally a telecom integrator installs an [IMS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Multimedia_Subsystem) in 12 months and the project will likely cost around $10 million. Integrating an IMS with external application servers that can deliver value added services is often extra. [Metaswitch](http://www.metaswitch.com)‘s extremely scalable open source IMS [Project Clearwater](http://projectclearwater.org) and [Telestax](http://telestax.com) next generation cloud communication platform, [Restcomm](http://restcomm.org) can now be deployed, integrated and scaled via a simple drag-and-drop. You can [try a demo](https://jujucharms.com/sidebar/search/bundle/~matt-williams-x/clearwater-restcomm/1/clearwater/?text=clearwater#readme) or better deploy it for real. Just deploy Juju and the Juju GUI and search for Clearwater, then drag-and-drop “Clearwater-Restcomm” from the left to the canvas on the right. Juju is not limited to these solutions only. During TADHack deployment of [Tropo](http://tropo.com)‘s [Ameche](http://corp.tropo.com/products/ameche/) made good progress. [Dialogic](http://dialogic.com) made it possible to deploy a [TURN/STUN](https://jujucharms.com/sidebar/search/~john-hermanski/precise/turnserver-1/?text=turnserver) server for WebRTC. Basically, Juju brings value to any telecom software that benefits from being deployed, integrated and scaled in minutes.
