Read my words – 3500 concurrent channels with Asterisk!
One of the biggest questions in the world of Asterisk is: “How many concurrent channels can be sustained with an Asterisk server?” – while many had tried answering the question, the definitive answer still alludes us. Even the title of this post says “3500 concurrent channels with Asterisk” doesn’t really say much about what really […]
Sangoma USBfxo: too little, too late…
Sangoma recently introduced a new FXO product, the USBfxo. The USBfxo is a dual FXO port device, connected to your Asterisk server via a USB connection. Now, while I do admire the way Sangoma keeps trying to kick it up a notch with new products, but isn’t Sangoma a little late to jump on the […]
Rock Solid Clouded Asterisk
This post is somewhat a combination of posts from previous posts, mainly, the posts about virtualization and my latest posts about the utilization of Amazon EC2.

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 […]
So long SigValue – Hello Asterisk + EC2!
As some of you may know, I’ll be attending the ITExpo in Miami Beach, Florida. The subject I’ll be lecturing about is “Virtualizing Asterisk”.

Hybrid Spins, Price cuts and more…
I really like marketing spins, there is nothing more amuzing than a good marketing spin – especially when its being performed by a big company. Israel, as much as I don’t like admiting it, is one of the world’s biggest spin experts, especially when it comes to technology and marketing. One of my best friends […]

It’s high time to have another one, and hopefully, get the ball rolling into a state where we will have one […]
Hi-Tech fallouts unite!
The current economical situation of the world had gotten me thinking about various things. I would say that while most people think about “how to survive the economical desert” we are currently passing – my thoughts are going to another place – I see an opportunity. About 6 months ago a team of 58 engineers […]
