Note, these are not prompts...these are sound files that are being created through a web-app and being stored in the DB as BLOB or similar datatype that's good/efficient to store audio/video files in a DB. We need these be made available through the asterisk system to play over the phone. Although the DB uses a SAN, the Asterisk System has no connectivity to the SAN but is connected on the same physical ethernet switch with a multi-Gbps backplane.</font></font></div>
