The current production ready versions of Asterisk (1.4, 1.6, 1.8) do not have any native HA support. You have to engineer that on your own, or purchase a commercial product that handles it for you. How this is engineered would be based on your specific requirements. > Also, What would be the pros and cons of using AsteriskNow over Asterisk ? > Are the versions same in Asterisk and AsteriskNow ? AsteriskNOW is a simple to install complete Asterisk setup, just add hardware. While that is great, it would probably be more of a pain to make AsteriskNOW into an HA install than build one yourself based on your specific requirements. I haven't personally tried though, so YMMV. It appears that AsteriskNOW 1.7.1 64-bit contains Asterisk version 1.4.35 and 1.6.2.11. Both versions are now at Security Update Only status (but that's a conversation for another thread) > We have been evaluating Asterisk for our Voice Application and > it seems it would fit the requirement.

Memory has never been an issue, and we are not transcoding between different codecs. If you plan to do a lot of transcoding in software, then your CPU usage will increase. You would have to test using your specific requirements to know how it will impact your systems. -Jonathan -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
