Re: [asterisk-biz] Asterisk cluster / failover program - Lite version announcement
Many HAAST license sales have been to call centers with very competent Asterisk Linux admins, with complex needs (eg: failover between geographically distant call centers, hook into diagnostic/line information of proprietary hardware). We also have reseller agreements with Asterisk integrators who sell Asterisk phone systems to mid size businesses looking for high availability using cheap/mismatched hardware. These qualified integrators continue to find value in HAAST. So, sure you could build your own (just like you could build your own radio too) - but it sounds like HAAST doesn't solve a problem you have. If you look through the archives there were some interesting posts where users made good arguments that VoIP will never match the simplicity and stability of analog telephony. To them Asterisk is not a solution to their telephony problems, so in their opinion they are right too. I'm not saying any opinions on this thread are right or wrong - lots of valid points of view...(but I'm not sure it's going anywhere useful) Michelle From: asterisk-biz-boun...@lists.digium.com [asterisk-biz-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Steve Poirier [mousepa...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 2:25 PM To: Asterisk Business List Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Asterisk cluster / failover program - Lite version announcement I disagree totally, unless you're lacking hardware resources and/or technical skills.

No, that's an experienced, mature cognizance that in the real world things fail.

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

Just no way, Hopefully I understand correctly what GenerationD offers but I don't think it offers stateful failover where ongoing calls get transferred to another Asterisk box with minimal interruption. That is the big challenge. What I think GenerationD offers is stateless active/passive failover which is nice but not good enough in demanding environments. I have seen carrier-class boxes reach and even do better than 99,999% availability. But this stuff costs some serious mountains of cash and is definitely in a different league than Asterisk.
