[Asterisk-Users] A rather big setup.

[Vedran Dakic]

I'm very aware of the maintenance issue, but it would also give me a great
deal of freedom for some various other

things as well. This of course depends on the Asterisk architecture, which
I'm not completely aware of - in detail

anyway.

 

How does Asterisk handle this kind of setup with one-two/cluster central
server(s) and a bunch of other servers

connected with IAX(2)? If you have local calls, do they go directly from
phone to phone, do they go from phone to

per-floor-Asterisk server, or they have to be interconnected via the main
Asterisk server(s)/cluster? I mean, there's

little point of doing this kind of setup with dedicated Asterisk servers on
each floor if you don't get your central

server/cluster free of some work - at least of internal calls. Also, it
kills scalability, which is always an "issue".

 

Anyone?

 

Cheers,

Vedran.

Spreading * servers across multiple floors sounds like a bad idea since it'd
increase maintenance time. With your projected

call volume there's no way you can reliably run g729 or any other CPU hog of
a codec on a single box. For this kind of a

setup you'd need 2-3 boxes and a SER/heartbeat box to handle registration
and call distribution. I would also isolate CDR

recording to a separate box running a database like Postgres (IMHO better
choice due to WAL) or MySQL.
