You could also achieve the same result with phones that support some type of
failover, such as a simple list of systems to try in order, or DNS SRV lookups.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] When/whether to use SER?
High availability. If you have multiple Asterisk systems, SER can
really make failover a lot less painful.

As for the media part of it, unless I'm delivering some sort of
"service" or require to listen to the media for some reason
(monitoring for example), then I direct the call through
Asterisk,
else, I direct media directly between end points and get out of
the
way.
Of course, its never this simple, but I find thats a good way
of
thinking about whether you really need SER or not. I don't
really
think a single company (unless its got a LOOOOOOOT of SIP
phones)
probably really even needs SER.
