[asterisk-users] Asterisk on virtual machine

[Ryan Amos]

Asterisk does not work very well in a VM due to the timeslicing. Dropped
calls, jittery audio and echo can all creep in.

 

Good news is that an AD controller runs just fine in VMware. Just make
sure the box has enough RAM to keep it happy, and use a physical second
disk for the Windows install. So I'd suggest running Asterisk in Linux
as the native OS, and running VMware with Windows Server as a guest OS.
This setup should work just fine for you.

We have a centralized infrastructure where we deploy Asterisk servers in
remote call centers for authentication and transcoding. SIP g729a calls
are then sent over an MPLS VPN to a central Asterisk farm, from which
calls are sent/received via PRI.

 

To avoid placing two servers in each call center, one for Asterisk and
another for Windows AD services, we have been playing with VMWare. Can
anyone provide their experiences in using Asterisk in a VMWare
configuration?  Good/bad/ugly?

 

Thanks,

Adam
