[asterisk-users] Using asterisk as the recording server

[Steve Totaro]

Paul,

He already said, "While am aware and active user of astersk monitor function
for recording" so I don't think migration path is an issue.

A dedicated recording server is recommended if you are going to be recording
a good deal of calls.

You certainly would not want to run out of hard drive space on your Asterisk
server and bring it down.

Also, with Asterisk (last I knew) ~60 simultaneous calls, the audio starts
breaking up very badly due to I/O.

OrecX can do over 300 simultaneous calls and only need port mirroring
enabled on your switch.  Even if it crashes or HD fills, call go on
normally.

I have coined the term "Passive Recording" since the recording process does
not touch Asterisk in any way, shape, or form.
