Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Openfire Asterisk-IM Plugin Performance Observation
Is it better for production to run Openfire on a separate server than the PBX? Since discovering linux vservers I put every service into its own install. Each install can be very lightweight and vservers only add about 1MB to ram usage (I don't run a separate init process), so very lightweight. The advantage is that it's super simple to backup each server and you can test upgrades by simply copying the image, fire up a new instance, test your upgrade, then burn it down again... Piece of cake to shuffle services between real machines also (preserving IP addresses also if that's required). Backups can be done very easily (make the /vserver dir an LVM disk) Good luck Ed W ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

i used it on one server a little while ago. my primary use was ability to show each user's status on spark. i did not get consistence results, phone status was not accurate. and did not try it after that, maybe its fixed in newer versions.

I haven't had a single problem with openfire, and I have between 50 and 100 open sessions at any one time.

My biggest concern is deploying a 100+ user environment with high call volume and high chat volume. Java seems to be a bit resource hungry with the user notifications and call pop ups. I would hate to have the IM server walking over Asterisk and affecting call quality or PBX stability. Speaking personally, I'd have no problems putting openfire and asterisk on the same box. If needed, you could even just nice the We run with the openfire process on the same box as the * server - we have not had a single problem with openfire in over 2 years now. openfire process down to a lower priority than asterisk - it's not as latency-sensitive as asterisk is. I'd doubt you'll need to do that, though. -Erik ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
