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>

Brian,<br>
<br>
FreeSWITCH in EC2 is a bit of a mystery to me...<br>
<br>
Call me old fashioned but in my mind VoIP and geography are linked<br>
in %99 of scenarios. Having VoIP services in a pure "cloud"<br>
environment just doesn't sound like a good idea to me.<br>
<br>
Consider a "hosted" environment with clients registered to a<br>
FreeSWITCH server. One day your instance is physically running on<br>
hardware in Seattle. The next day it could (potentially) be running<br>
in Chicago. That's obviously a very different routing path for your<br>
clients. Even /if/ Amazon (or whomever) employs every routing/network<br>
trick in the book you still won't be able to get over that change in<br>
geography.<br>

For some people this isn't a huge difference... now if it were to swap
continents then yes it would be a problem. But I haven't seen Amazon
do this but I haven't left the instances up long enough to see.<br>

certainly possible a change like this may very well never<br>
happen in practice. I wouldn't know; I've never used EC2 and I don't<br>
even know that much about it. I'm just curious how well strictly,<br>
practically speaking this will work in the long term.<br>

<div>There are other companies that do this stuff but personally
me... I want my stuff running on real hardware.</div>
