I disagree totally, unless you're lacking hardware resources and/or technical skills.<br><br>If you have more than 1 asterisk box and proper hardware, it's quite simple to achieve failover. <br><br>I'm not endorsing the original OP's product at all, just saying that your statement is wrong.<br>

Sorry you can't put Asterisk and failover in same sentence.<br>
<br>
Any one who Thinks and sells that, is just plain defrauding clients,<br>
<br>
Same goes for those 99.999%uptime guys... that's like under 25 secs downtime<br>
in 30 days...<br>
<br>
Just no way,<br>

>>Subject: [asterisk-biz] Asterisk cluster / failover program - Lite version<br>
>>announcement<br>
>><br>
>>GenerationD is please to announce a Lite version of its High Availability<br>
>>ASTersik product (HAAST). The new lite version is designed for small<br>
>>installations (5 channels max) that want all of the failover and high<br>
availability<br>
>>features of larger installations, allowing small companies to use a cheap<br>
pair<br>
>>of servers as an asterisk cluster.<br>
>><br>
>>High Availability ASTerisk (HAAST) is a software product which creates a<br>
high<br>
>>availability / clustered groups of Asterisk servers, able to act as a<br>
single<br>
>>server. HAAST can detect a range of failures on any single Asterisk server<br>
and<br>
>>automatically transfer control to another Asterisk Server, resulting in a<br>
>>telephony environment with minimal down time. HAAST member servers<br>
>>can be physically seperates (great for a cold/hot standby site) and can<br>
even<br>
>>run on mismatched cluster member hardware.<br>
>><br>
>>HAAST is a 100% software solution, with switchover in as little as 10<br>
seconds.<br>
>>Built-in intelligent network control allows for a single IP address shared<br>
>>between multiple servers, so clients/phones automatically connect to the<br>
>>Asterisk server in control. Built-in automatic replication of<br>
configuration<br>
>>between servers also reduces maintenance and support activities.<br>
>><br>
>>HAAST is an easy to use solution, with shell (command line), telnet, and<br>
web<br>
>>interfaces, suitable for beginners and experts alike. HAAST is ideal for<br>
>>demanding telephony environments like call centers and mid-to-large size<br>
>>businesses.<br>
