Others have already addressed most of your questions. 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.

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.

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. (pun fully intended)

Hope this helps,
Ben J

[Freeswitch-users] Is Freeswitch ready for prime time?

2009-06-10 Thread Paul Mahler
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.

Thank You,

Paul
