As others have mentioned, I know that Shoretel, Cisco and any Asterisk solution can be virtualized. Shoretel claims to only support VMWare. I don't know about Cisco and Asterisk claims nothing, being an open source project. (Digium might offer true VM support, I don't know.)
3cx looks awesome/cheap, which lures me. It appears to run well on any VM. YMMV. I'd recommend you find the phone system that does what you want/need first, then worry about redundancy or virtualization. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: James Kerr [mailto:cluster...@gmail.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:56:53 -0800 Subject: OT - Phone System In A Virtual Machine > We are looking at replacing our phone system.
