[Asterisk-biz] Asterisk Implementation Consultants

[Robert Wolpov]

We used to do Asterisk consulting and implementation and once did a Nortel
MICs integration with Asterisk.  We are primarily a service provider now so
we can't be the ones to help you but could point you in the right direction.
Feel free to call me if you would like.

This document may give you some help.  Although not a Meridian system, this
approach is essentially what we did.

Hello,

I work for a company that is nearing the end-of-life on its existing
Nortel Meridian switch and is considering Asterisk.  We have
approximately 200 existing extensions, and probably 150 out of those 200
are using basic analog phones and would stay that way.  A few phones are
more sophisticated proprietary Nortal digital (or digital-like) phones.

We want someone that could help us with things like:

 * Server sizing and best practices to ensure reliability

 * Best ways to integrate those 200 phones into our Asterisk system
   (Some T1 PCI cards and then breakout boxes?  Boxes that have
    bunches of analog ports on one end and Ethernet on the other?)

 * Options for integrating VOIP phones into our data network,
   including requirements for switches (QoS, bandwidth, etc.)

 * Suggested hardware for any of the above.

 * Ways to design our setup to permit growth

 * Suggestions on where to obtain emergency support from (Digium?)

We have Asterisk, Linux, phone, and networking experience in-house and
would probably plan to largely handle the implementation ourselves if we
could get assistance with questions like the above.

Thanks,

-- John
