[asterisk-users] State of Asterisk+Virtualization+Timing

2011-11-01 Thread Tim Nelson
Greetings- I'm about to dive into the process of virtualizing some of my Asterisk (primarily 1.4.x) infrastructure. In the past, when looking at virt solutions, the primary issue preventing me from moving was the lack of proper timing. We do not need it for MeetMe but rather for IAX2 trunking.

It would be nice if we can get it going with KVM. Cloud computing solutions are moving towards the true linux based kernel vs. FreeBSD of XEN. Cheers, Nick. On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 5:46 PM, Johan Wilfer wrote: > 2011-11-01 18:08, Tim Nelson skrev: > > Greetings- > > I'm about to dive into the

Look at upgrading to at least 1.6.2 or 1.8, these both have newer timing sources that don't rely on dahdi. Also, if conferencing is a big deal, look at 10, this contains a complete rewrite of ConfBridge which doesn't require dahdi for mixing at all. Thanks, --Warren Selby, dCAP On Nov 1, 2011

Do you gents feel that KVM and XEN hog too much resources which in turn effects the functionality of Asterisk? I really like the idea of Asterisk as an appllicance, for reasons stated in this email. It just makes life all pretty and green. Cheers, Nick. -- ___
