Paul,<br><br>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.<br><br>A dedicated recording server is recommended if you are going to be recording a good deal of calls.<br>
<br>You certainly would not want to run out of hard drive space on your Asterisk server and bring it down.<br><br>Also, with Asterisk (last I knew) ~60 simultaneous calls, the audio starts breaking up very badly due to I/O.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>I have coined the term "Passive Recording" since the recording process does not touch Asterisk in any way, shape, or form.<br>

I have also seen:<br>
<br>
PSTN ---- asterisk ---- legacy<br>
<br>
Which also gives you a migration path....<br>
