[asterisk-biz] Asterisk GUI

[Saul Diaz]

Ok.  I never expect that my small screenshot will cause this big fuzz.

Let me said first that we love the Thirdlane and the Switchvox GUI.

The idea of our manager was take out the web server from the asterisk 
from the beginning, we replace that with an asterisk manage proxy 
(daemon), but we also needs that for listening the recordings (but we 
can use a mini httpd for this).

Astlinux use Astmanproxy for example and works fine with Pbxware. We try 
our manager with Astlinux and Astmanproxy and works fine. We don’t think 
that we are yet at the same level than the thirdlane and the switchvox 
in configuration matters but for monitoring definitely we are well 
prepare for any battle… We can monitor the status of a phone and we 
known in realtime when the phone have a problem, get reset, or simply 
lost the registration, we can see the activity of an asterisk server 
without even go to the asterisk, and like switchbox we can monitor the 
cpu utilization and soon memory, and even network utilization. Making my 
product better for a call center administration than a pbx or a calling 
card solution, we are also almost 100% compatible with astcc.

Zoa by the way we also love your astertest, keep the good work in 
asteriskguru, but sorry we hate your operator panel J.

We test our manager in a 300 seat with a predictive dialer (no asterisk) 
running with about 250 - 300 simultaneous calls.

For the asterisk 1.2.X you don't need connection to the db server. You 
can do a few things that allow you to avoid that, b/c after all, 
asterisk is already connected to the db server if u are using real-time. 
We are addressing that, for the moment we work with Mysql-Realtime.

Every of then have his pro and his cons, in our system as soon I set the 
realtime. I don’t need to do anything b/c the rest is done by the 
manager, making the life very easy for our customers.

The majority of this things are very hard to do in a web admin not 
matter how friendly the admin is
