From what I have been told, Asterisk can handle 300 simultaneous calls
per user. Most ITSPs wouldn't know because they aren't seeing that kind
of volume.
Cbeyond bought a company called Aretta that did Asterisk in containers -
one for each customer. It became unmanageable.
Just some thoughts this morning.

I found really time and resource consuming having an asterisk (even if
virtualized) for each client. I see a lots of companies failing when
reaching around 40/50 virtual severs. The time needed to maintain all
these servers were too big for the money the clients can provide. I
think it is more convenient to have a multi tenant setup where a
single central asterisk handle all the virtual pbx for the clients.
The resources needed for a new client are almost zero and you can
acquire even little office with just a couple of phones.

We use a virtualized asterisk per client - makes feature sets very
powerful. Then we have a centralized core for additional features
that Asterisk can not provide. Its not auto provisioning, but
we're aiming for B2B vs. self-service market. Billing is done via
flat rate or A2Billing.
It'll come close to meta switch or broad soft but you will need to
service your clients. BUT you wold be 100% opensource.

I almost agree with you, but I think instead of saying "The
drawback to Asterisk is you have to add lots of extra stuff" I
will say "The drawback to Asterisk is you have to DISABLE a
lots of extra stuff". Yes, if you are doing a pure SIP
routing, you may disable IAX and all other VoIP protocol you
do not need, you may disable all applications you don't use
and reduce asterisk to the bare minimum, but are they really
hurting you? I cannot compare asterisk to other VoIP software
because I just know asterisk, but having something "more" was
never been a problem. Problems can arise when you need a
feature and you do not have it. We are working in a highly
competitive market where we fight to the death for every
single customer, trying to pleasant them as much as we can.
Often clients have silly requests and I appreciate when I have
a software even capable to play chess with the caller while on
hold.

A well spec'd Asterisk box can handle well 500+ calls if
audio is not going through Asterisk. The drawback to
Asterisk is you have to add lots of extra stuff. The few
GUIs availabe for Asterisk are all designed for SMBs, not
for a carrier. I love Asterisk, but it would not come
close to fufilling the original poster's needs for things
like SMS (for some values of "SMS").
