a bunch of things may need to happen right now to keep things from getting
delayed?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[asterisk-biz] The newest buzz word - cloud computing<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Good evening (EST),<BR><BR>Cloud computing, a really cool sounding
buzz word. <BR><BR>Was wondering if anyone on the list can elaborate on
how this technology will impact Asterisk, specifically how Asterisk would be
deployed using this technology. (Or should it be be deployed in the
cloud).<BR><BR>We are in the process of building an information line (IVR) which
needs full redundancy/fail-over will the cloud provide
that?<BR><BR>-Mike<BR><BR><BR></BODY></HTML>
