 Could you please elaborate on that? Do need to modify Asterisk or

If you have a (large) number of asterisk-servers, it might be handier not to 
duplicate configs,(to avoid mismatches) 
but have sip and exension config centralised in ldap or mysql.

And when using dns-round-robin, you can almost add/remove machines on
the fly.

2012-07-23 Thread Kannan
Thanks SamyGo and Mitul for your prompt responses.

I have been vested with the responsibility to evaluate Asterisk for a VOIP
solution. I was just going through couple of documents and got impressed by
the features it has to offer. Our user base is around 15000 and the system
should support 1000 concurrent calls, with BHCA projected at 16000.

I plan to use OpenSER for SIP registrations and Asterisk for media
processing. RTP Proxy will be used for handling NAT traversal. DNS based
load balancing/fail over is preferred over Ultramonkey based one.

I have quite a few more questions on Asterisk.
1. Can we setup virtual private PBX inside Asterisk. I.e. One installation
of Asterisk will handle many configured hosted PBXs. Each virtual private
PBX should be able to be configured and managed separately.
2. Do we have to buy Fax licence, if Asterisk is to support end-to-end Fax.
I.e. Asterisk will not be used in Fax media procession, but only the SIP
signals will be handled by Asterisk.

Thanks again for your support.

Kind Regards,
Kannan.

2012-07-23 Thread Leandro Dardini
15k users are quite a big number. To my clients with a large user base I
advice always to partition the load on multiple servers. This has a list of
advantages, like the ability to power cycle a node without impacting all
your users, easier debug and tests of problems and solutions, abiity to
scale up to higher number of peers without changing the overall
architecture. Obviously you need a software to manage the multi tenant PBX
with asterisk and a special setup to handle the high availability and load
balanced configuration.

About the fax license, yes, Digium provides fax solutions at cheap prices.
However it depends by what you need. If you need T.38 support, Digium fax
for asterisk can be the answer, if instead you just need a fax2mail and
mail2fax solution, not involving T.38, I always suggest a T1/E1/J1 ISDN
network card, far more reliable than a software fax.

15k users is not a big deal, however 1000 concurrent calls surely is.

Asterisk will start blurring up on 250 concurrency.
In short whatever you are needing to setup needs quite a few of other
components like OpenSIPs or FreeSWITCH etc.

If its VoIP (SIP) Only then you might be better off using FreeSWITCH and
yeah well this is Asterisk Users community, I m not sure how others would
react to this, however these are my views.

If you need professional help, do connect with me off the list.

Thanks Mitul. But according to some performance data available on the
Internet, 15000 users is a big deal it seems, if Asterisk has to function
as a SIP registrar. Sure, 1000 concurrent calls is a big deal, and we are
planning to balance the load across three server hardware -- HP DL 380s.

Hi Stelios,

Thanks for the response.

I take the following excerpt from your response. --- You can, but usually
for virtual/hosted pbx's you need an additional
layer of management software or a lot of copy paste

Could you please elaborate on that? Do need to modify Asterisk or there

 The number of registered users is not that big, the 1000 concurrent
 calls means multiple asterisk boxes load balanced and that can be tricky
 at times.
 If you use transcoding at the asterisk side then 200-300 concurrent
 calls is what to expect per box (depending on codec used)

  I have quite a few more questions on Asterisk.
  1. Can we setup virtual private PBX inside Asterisk. I.e. One

  separately.

 You can, but usually for virtual/hosted pbx's you need an additional
 layer of management software or a lot of copy paste ;)
 Another thing i have seen with hosted/virtual pbx's especially if you
 use real-time to configure them is that the resources required on the
 box are substantial and thus you get less virtual pbx's per box than if
 you used the classical flat-file configs.
 Its a trade-off between easy of usage and resources required but if you
 have lots of virtual pbx's running on premises it adds up quickly.


  2. Do we have to buy Fax licence, if Asterisk is to support end-to-end
  Fax. I.e. Asterisk will not be used in Fax media procession, but only
  the SIP signals will be handled by Asterisk.
 

 If it's T38 pass-through you don't need a license.
 Have a look here
 http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+T.38

 If asterisk does any processing then Digium offers licenses.

[asterisk-users] PBX, IVR and Conferencing Platforms From the Same Installation of Asterisk

Hi List,

Is it possible for me to setup PBX, IVR and Conferencing platforms from a
single installation with Asterisk?

Thanks.

Hi,
If you have no custom requirements beside these then yes, Asterisk provides
these all by default. You can use the same asterisk for all the
functionality it offers in just one box. But thats not wise.
Regards,
Sammy
