I've been involved with getting better data for running Asterisk on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing system. Here are some calculations I've made on costs based on current published prices on Amazon's system. Feel free to tell me that I'm wrong with these calculations - but be specific if you find any problems, as I suspect others may glom onto these figures as gospel and I'd hate to have the wrong data in there.
http://www.loligo.com/asterisk/misc/amazon-ec2.xls The net of my calculations is that a small instance of 20 users in a standard office environment would cost about $75 per month, which when compared to running a server in-house works out to be (raw cost, not including admin time and not discounting out-of-office bandwidth) only $38.56 more. Very interesting.
