Asterisk can be a good voip server provided:-

it has fault tolerance mechanism
it can handle real time load

Interesting article, but how do I get you to send me the money you purport to be saving me?

“Compared to traditional TDM based systems, they are ten times less expensive to build.”

Let’s see – If I can buy a TDM for $150,000 and Asterisk is ten times less expensive…

$150,000 – cost of TDM
minus
(ten times $150,000) – “ten times less expensive”
equals…

You owe me $1,350,000 for every Asterisk system I build.

I like this deal. Where can I collect?

Or, did you really mean to say that Asterisk is one tenth the cost to build?

Ow… ooh!… Please stop! That's the sound of me being skewered by pedantry

You are correct — 1/10th as expensive to build. Best, A
