Not sure about Affirmed, but I know some of the original MetaSwitch
guys, and a few still at Microsoft. They were, and I suspect still
are, extremely dedicated and capable. My guess is they will find a way
to spin out / buy out MetaSwitch in some form it will continue.

Quoting Jawaid Bazyar via VoiceOps <[email protected]>:
I have a use case. The use case is, be in a position to take
customers tomorrow on a 5/9's platform.
One alternative is Ribbon: that solution is out of my price
range, and, likely out of price range of every rural ILEC I know.
A second is Squire, but, I'm not willing to risk it w/o getting
my hands on a long-term trial which was requested but not offered.
The final alternative is to throw into developing one, likely in
two phases. The orchestration and front end of the Elephant Talk
project is complete, now just need to settle on a production backend.

to acquire a Metaswitch, but you've clearly got an angle.

My question is, can you actually run a MetaSwitch CFS in Azure?
Because to my knowledge, you cannot.
I would be very interested if I was wrong about this.

Besides getting rid of their Max UC softphone (to make MS Teams

We - RAD-INFO, ECG and Andrew Ward - did a webinar about it in
May. You can watch the recording here:

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you.

Subject: [VoiceOps] Acquire MetaSwitch
Hello,
We are in the market to acquire / take over a MetaSwitch CFS. In
particular, we're looking for the virtual edition that runs
purely in VMWare.
The components we'd need are:
CFS
MRS (Media Resource Server)
Perimeta
SAS (Service Assurance Server)
MetaView Server
These are fairly common components.
Given the MetaSwitch products are no longer sold, and Microsoft
is EOLing them, and not taking new support contracts, we're not
talking about a big cash up front kind of deal, but, instead a
revenue share kind of arrangement.
Anyone that has one and is interested, contact me directly off-list.
Cheers,
Jawaid
