The rants and raves of a technogeek
Virtualizing Asterisk – Digium Asterisk World, Feb 2008
Well, I just got back from the ITExpo show in Miami, Florida. I have to admit that I really enjoyed the venue, although I didn’t really have time to walk the floor. The main reason that I was unable to walk the floor was due to the fact that I gave a talk, as part of the Digium Asterisk World venue, which was co-located with TMCnet’s ITExpo.
My talk was about the possibilities and incentives for Virtualizing Asterisk using VMWARE and Amazon EC2. Following below is the presentation that I gave.

Extreme Asterisk Cloud Performance – Part I
about 5 months ago - No comments
Here’s a challenging question for the Asterisk technical savvy of you… What is the top performance you can squeeze out of an Asterisk box, running on Amazon EC2 – or to that extent, a cloud infrastructure? If you scout the Internet, you may find various answers – however, most of them aren’t backed up by real numbers or real information,made accessible in a normal readable form.
Recently, we’ve become heavily involved in a project requiring massive usage of cloud based infrastructure. I won’t go into details as to what the project is or what we are doing, however, I felt that some interesting facts about Asterisk 11.0.1 and Cloud infrastructure can be shared with the rest of you.
Updates, Astricon, Allo.com and more

So, let’s talk PRI cards. Once every often a company approaches me to evaluate their products. I do my best to be as impartial as I can – after all, Digium products are my favorite. However, I’m always happy to see a product that can compete nicely with Digium, simply because I believe it will make Digium products better and stronger. So, a couple of months ago, Allo.com approached me to evaluate their PRI card. I agreed, and they’ve sent me their PCI-e version of a quad span E1/T1 card.
Fare well Humbug Telecom Labs
about 11 months ago - No comments
As I’ve publically announced last week, I’m no longer a member of Humbug. I’ve spent the better part of the past 30 months with Humbug, working on bringing something new to the world – a brand new approach to preventing fraud. In the world of social networking, reader driven news and croud wizdom – Humbug, at least in my view, was to telecom fraud what facebook was for social networking. Ok, by no means am I comparing the two, I’m simply stating that it brought a fresh new approach to doing something, something that was usually related to mega-companies likes AT&T and Verizon down to mom-&-pop.
Can you trust your integrator with Fraud Analysis?
about 2 years ago - No comments
As some of you know, over the past 9 months, I’ve been heavily involved in the establishment of Humbug. For those who may not know, Humbug is a Call Analytics and Fraud Analysis SAAS. Now, differing from many of the current telephony SAAS projects, we are not based on Amazon EC2 or some other public cloud infrastructure, we build our own cloud environment. Why do we build our own cloud? simple, we need to keep your data secured and confidential. At Humbug, we see ourselves as a cross between Google Analytics – in our ability to analyze and handle data and Verisign – in our security and confidentiality requirements and methodologies.
Business 2.0 – Taking the leap forward…
about 3 years ago - No comments
The following post doesn’t really fit in line with the normal spirit of the blog, simply because it’s not funny nor directly related to technology. It’s called Business 2.0, as it relates to the ever problematic question any business owner has: “When should I grow and how?”.
Asterisk, Greed and Revenue Shares

Revenue sharing is one of the oldest methods of earning profits, actually, I believe it may just be right up there with trading of goods and food.
Open Source, Philanthropy and Asterisk
about 3 years ago - No comments
When I started using Open Source software, it seemed like all Open Source projects are driven by philanthropic agendas. We were all focused on “sticking it to the man” – showing all these would be software vendors that community driven projects can do just as well – if not better.
Call Analytics – Closed Alpha testing group
about 3 years ago - No comments
Well, it’s been almost a month since I’ve started writing about the humbug project. Now, it’s time to actually get you people involved, at least in the initial levels. We are looking to add 10 additional members into the humbug call analytics suite. Currently available analytics during the alpha testing is inbound call analytics.
Call Analytics – Beyond CDR analysis – Part I
about 3 years ago - No comments
“Oh, just get me the CDR’s and I’ll take it from there” – how many times have I heard these words before? I can’t even imagine the number of times in the past 15 years of IT/Telecom’s work that I’ve done and in the last 8 years of Asterisk in particular – when it comes to billing and fraud management, it would appear that the CDR’s are the Rosetta Stone of the industry.
Beyond the dialtone – PBX user experience revisited
about 3 years ago - No comments
When most of us think about PBX systems, we usually associate these with cumbersome usage, confusing dialing codes and in most cases – a PBX system is automatically associated with the annoying task of transferring a call from one handset to another. Lately, I’ve been thinking deeply about how people use PBX systems, is this really the only way to use a PBX system? is there something else to the mix? can we really enrich one of the oldest operational paradigms in the world? – and for that matter, can the public be re-educated to assimilate a new breed of PBX systems or services?
