[asterisk-users] Asterisk Openfire Asterisk-IM Plugin Performance Observation

Since discovering linux vservers I put every service into its own 
"install".  Each install can be very lightweight and vservers only add 
about 1MB to ram usage (I don't run a separate init process), so very 
lightweight. 

The advantage is that it's super simple to backup each "server" and you 
can test upgrades by simply copying the image, fire up a new instance, 
test your upgrade, then burn it down again...  Piece of cake to shuffle 
services between real machines also (preserving IP addresses also if 
that's required).  Backups can be done very easily (make the /vserver 
dir an LVM disk)

Good luck
