Still here.. working.. making a living.. you know the drill. Not sure about ClueCon this year.. I've curtailed a lot of my traveling and talking this year as I've been doing a lot more consulting work. I'll look into it.. I may be able to drive up if I can spare the time..

Hey Damin! Glad to see you are still out there in the shadows. You coming back to ClueCon this year?

There is a cloud computing company named 3Tera (AppLogic) that does have an international presence and will keep your FreeSWITCH instance running on a dedicated server using Xen and HA. I spoke with one of their senior engineers about 1 month ago in regards to actually setting up an LCR scenario using their servers located in Europe and the United States. These guys are a little different in the cloud computing world and I believe closer fit the needs of a telephony application. As-is, there are companies using 3tera for their Asterisk installs. So if you want cloud computing with dedicated hardware resources and a set geographic location, then these guys do it. Kind of the best of both worlds. Just a quick 2 cents...

Call me old fashioned but in my mind VoIP and geography are linked in %99 of scenarios. Having VoIP services in a pure "cloud" environment just doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Consider a "hosted" environment with clients registered to a FreeSWITCH server. One day your instance is physically running on hardware in Seattle. The next day it could (potentially) be running in Chicago. That's obviously a very different routing path for your clients. Even /if/ Amazon (or whomever) employs every routing/network trick in the book you still won't be able to get over that change in geography. For some people this isn't a huge difference... now if it were to swap continents then yes it would be a problem. But I haven't seen Amazon do this but I haven't left the instances up long enough to see. It's certainly possible a change like this may very well never happen in practice. I wouldn't know; I've never used EC2 and I don't even know that much about it. I'm just curious how well strictly, practically speaking this will work in the long term. There are other companies that do this stuff but personally me... I want my stuff running on real hardware.
