[asterisk-users] Asterisk 'Hosting'

[Douglas Garstang]

Brandon,
 
Thanks. We're a liiiiitle past that stage of complexity. I'm just throwing the question out there because it's becoming obvious that trying to provision hundreds of customers on a cluster of Asterisk systems is going to be very hard to manage.

Doug,

I'd suggest using contexts, but then having two servers for redundancy also. That way, if one asterisk box goes down, you don't have 50-100 clients completely down.

Well, we're talking about several dozen, maybe 100, companies, per Asterisk box here.

You might be able to use virtual NICs to eliminate the problem with "non-standard" ports for a company's SIP phones.  Or real NICs using a couple of multi-homed cards.

I haven't tried it, though.

Has anyone ever tried to run multiple instances of Asterisk on a single system, running each with a different username, and each in a separate base directory? Something like /home/pbx/business-1, home/pbx/business-2 etc?

Did it work? I assume for every service that Asterisk runs, on each instance, you'd have to use a different port numbers, which may get confusing. Each businesses phones would have to be configred with different SIP ports then too. 

What about processes? I notice that Asterisk runs about 26 processes (or are they threads?) for a single instance.


Doug.
