Simply put, ICC provide you with an “environment” on one of its Porta Clusters, and provides you win your own unique IP address for each of the Porta Services you wish to use (for example PortaBilling, PortaSIP, PortaUM, etc). In effect this results in you having your own Porta Interface to log into and administer. It's like having your own Porta.
