Asterisk does not work very well in a VM due to the timeslicing. Dropped calls, jittery audio and echo can all creep in.

 

Good news is that an AD controller runs just fine in VMware. Just make sure the box has enough RAM to keep it happy, and use a physical second disk for the Windows install. So I’d suggest running Asterisk in Linux as the native OS, and running VMware with Windows Server as a guest OS. This setup should work just fine for you.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on virtual machine

 

We have a centralized infrastructure where we deploy Asterisk servers in remote call centers for authentication and transcoding. SIP g729a calls are then sent over an MPLS VPN to a central Asterisk farm, from which calls are sent/received via PRI.

 

To avoid placing two servers in each call center, one for Asterisk and another for Windows AD services, we have been playing with VMWare. Can anyone provide their experiences in using Asterisk in a VMWare configuration?  Good/bad/ugly?

 

Thanks,

Adam
