[asterisk-users] Asterisk 11 under VMware?
Hi! Anyone that have tried using Asterisk 11 with SIP + Confbridge as a VMware virtual machine? Any issues to be aware of? Of course the hardware node needs to to be powerful enough - but say you have just one virtual machine on the node - will the performance be drastically less than running asterisk on the metal? Or can I expect roughly the same performance? Thanks! -- Johan Wilfer -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 11 under VMware?
I have found Asterisk using only SIP is very responsive on virtual machines. We have used VMs for call center applications and for complex IVR solutions without problems. Obviously there is overhead running a VM so you can never expect a VM to perform as well as bare metal. Running a single VM on a server is a complete waste of resources, might as well run natively.

Do you have this experience with WMware in particular or with virtualization in general? I won't run a single WM, it was just an example. My question was more about if I could expect roughly the same performance, or if it is drastically different with virtual machines on VMware. -- Johan Wilfer -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Even if OP runs 1 VM on the box, he could leverage snapshots in VM ware for the purpose or migrating or back ups. I don't think it is a waste per say, just different requirements. -- Paul Belanger | PolyBeacon, Inc.

From: Johan Wilfer li...@jttech.se Sounds very good. Do you have this experience with WMware in particular or with virtualization in general? We run our Asterisk 11 instance in VMWare as well. They share the hardware with multiple other boxes. We do give Asterisk priority over most other virtual machines. We either have SIP providers or use boxes like Digium's G100 series to convert our T1 lines to SIP. Our experience has been good and we have no problems loading Asterisk up on virtual machines on each site.-- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Nice to hear that asterisk is more virtualization friendly with recent versions. -- Johan Wilfer -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
