[asterisk-biz] Trixbox Pro?

[Dean Collins]

As a tangent - I certainly see the benefits to 'centrally served web
services' you only have to see what I was trying to do 2 years ago with
Tellme http://www.cognation.net/asterisk/Tellme/index.htm to see that I
was a bleeding edge believer in webservices however...I think the real
issue people are feeling with Trixbox pro is that you are totally at
Fonality's mercy - if they switch the services off (or worse increase
the price) you're stuck.

I agree Tim, my first foray into pro was a little disappointing. The
same experience as trying to communicate directly with Fonality. I think
that the centrally managed iPBX platform certainly has merit though.

We, along with our business partners are implementing a hosted iPBX
offering here in Australia using Asterisk, Interactive Intelligence and
an Alcatel solution. This will be based on the model that says that
where possible handsets register to the core over a managed data
service, on site proxy's will be used only for redundancy and  high user
availability. This addresses the extra cost component in the main. We
also provide proxy registration by using a gateway (GSM) that also has
this function built in. CE is a great product and I understand the value
of central management of back-up files so we will deliver this as well.

We have installed a lot of Trixbox CE servers. From my opinion the
Hybrid hosted solution for Trixbox Pro doe not make sense to my client 
base. You still have to sell them a server and phones for the system.
Why would they then pay a monthly fee per extension fee if they have
already purchased all the equipment up front? I'm sticking with the free

CE version for my customers. The only way I see this working is if the
end user them selves buys a TrixBox Pro version and plan on having a
service agreement from Fonality/TrixBox. Just my opinion.
