I manage 5 systems.

Each has a slave database against the master Mysql.  Each systems basic 
features are hard coded in the dial plan.  If any of the Mysqls fail, it 
will not prevent the phone systems from functioning.

All the 'fluff' is in the databases.

Caller-ID name/number matches
Black listed numbers
Fax2Email
Conferencing
Access restrictions for after hours.

Makes it easier to administrate, especially for those in my group that 
don't have experience with *nix.
