 When we compared the Christie® Phoenix™ solution
to other products on the market, it had 24/7 system
reliability, which was very important. Other vendors’
complex solutions with multiple servers and switchers
would mean more potential points of failure throughout
the system and higher costs. Christie Phoenix is a simple
design and single-SKU solution which made it very
attractive to us.
