I am planning to roll out Asterisk to some offices and I have been thinking about how to disaster proof the box.
For the production box, of course, it will have RAID 1 disk drives and 2GB memory at least. a) If the office burns down, there is nothing much I could do. b) If it is software error, then good luck with the trouble-shooting. c) If the hardware fails, then I could call for the vendor to come to replace faulty hardware but this is going to take at least 2 to 4 hours no matter how much you pay for the warranty. It is because of (c) that prompts me to think about configuring a cheap desktop as a hot box so that if the production box fails disastrously, then I could simply move the PRI cable to the hot box and business should continue. However, this will require the production box daily copying (rsync) all the changed files to the hot box. Is this a good idea? Or is there a better idea? Or am I too paranoid? What do you guys do out there? _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
