resources like that of a power company. Cool stuff!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>There is a cloud computing company named 3Tera (AppLogic)
that does have an international presence and will keep your FreeSWITCH instance
running on a dedicated server using Xen and HA. I spoke with one of their
senior engineers about 1 month ago in regards to actually setting up an LCR
scenario using their servers located in Europe and the United States.
These guys are a little different in the cloud computing world and I believe
closer fit the needs of a telephony application. As-is, there are
companies using 3tera for their Asterisk installs. So if you want cloud
computing with dedicated hardware resources and a set geographic location, then
these guys do it. Kind of the best of both worlds. Just a quick 2
cents...<br>

Chris<br>

<span class=apple-style-span> FreeSWITCH in EC2 is a bit of a mystery to
me...</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span> Call me old fashioned but in my mind VoIP

<span class=apple-style-span>in %99 of scenarios. Having VoIP services in
a pure "cloud"</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>environment just doesn't sound like a good idea to
me.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span> Consider a "hosted" environment
with clients registered to a</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>FreeSWITCH server. One day your instance is
physically running on</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>hardware in Seattle. The next day it could
(potentially) be running</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>in Chicago. That's obviously a very
different routing path for your</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>clients. Even /if/ Amazon (or whomever)
employs every routing/network</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>trick in the book you still won't be able to get
over that change in</span><br>
