I would like to point out, however, that the FreeSWITCH developers offer support, by way of a consulting service, on a commercial basis. If you're running FreeSWITCH in a commercial setting and encounter complex issues that require expert advice or attention from developers, consider entering into a consulting contract. This will also help to fund the project and ensure that the development community remains as active as we all want it to be. ___ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org

Hi Paul - We've used FS over the last 18 months or so to handle millions of calls - some wholesale in/out, some IVR, some calling card, some callthrough - with a total value in the millions of dollars; we have no complaints. --Dave -- David Knell, Director, 3C Limited T: +44 20 3298 2000 E: d...@3c.co.uk W: http://www.3c.co.uk ___ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
Re: [Freeswitch-users] Is Freeswitch ready for prime time?
Hi Paul, I'll tell you this. We (Teliax) made the decision to use FreeSWITCH instead of Asterisk in late 2008 and we haven't looked back since. We're a fairly large SIP/IAX provider with four POPs located throughout the US, each one running FS. The dev community surrounding FS is excellent, they're always helpful and if you check the changelogs (http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/changelog/FreeSWITCH/) you can clearly see there's all sorts of work going on daily. As a company with 5000+ customers with an emphasis on call completion and high quality, we're happy to say that we can rely on FreeSWITCH every single day to provide us with what Asterisk couldn't. Don't get me wrong, Asterisk is a good PBX (it's quick to deploy, relatively easy, and well supported) but try pushing thousands of calls through it at once without it choking. FreeSWITCH handles it with 94% processor idle. I realize I might not answer all your questions, but I just wanted to throw in our vote for you to replace Asterisk with FreeSWITCH. Maybe seeing a real-world example such as ours will help your decision to make the switch.

[Freeswitch-users] Is Freeswitch ready for prime time?
Hello Everybody, I have a large project coming up. I'm interested in using Freeswitch instead of SER and Asterisk. What is the current status of Freeswitch? Can I safely use it in a large scale commercial environment? How active is the Freeswitch developer community? I am concerned that Freeswitch doesn't seem to have gained much traction compared to Asterisk. How viable is the Freeswitch project? Please help me understand why I can safely shit can Asterisk and move to Freeswitch.
