Amazon instances are shared resources. I wouldn't want to count on timing or disk throughput, and you can't just ask them to do ssd - its a virtual machine! 500 simultaneous recordings is a hefty load, and I would want to know that the underlying hardware is dedicated to the task. Sure

As you've probably discovered, most of the API toolkits are half baked and poorly maintained. The Java interface is not great for performance and is suffering from the above too. From our experience (including customer specific and commercial apps) using the AMI directly is the best way to

Hi all, currently we're looking to program a new asterisk application. Years ago we used AMI and Asterisk Java. When we did this we pretty soon encountered performance issues when using a lot of channels. We want to place calls, bridge channels, disconnect channels, monitor them, hangup.

Still a shared resource. I don't see the benefit. Even beyond the shared resource bit, with the kind of IO you are likely to be pushing, you will want a decent NAS with lots of spindles and fibre channel to your hosts. j On 03/08/2015 10:51 AM, Jai Rangi wrote: Digital ocean offers ssd

Agreed, network will be bottleneck even with ssd on shared resource. For a stable env having a dedicated hosted server will be the best approach and cheaper too. Jai Rangi Www.didforsale.com www.cebodtelecom.com www.cebod.com On Mar 8, 2015, at 9:10 AM, Jeff LaCoursiere j...@jeff.net wrote:
