<p>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>

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

<span>happen in practice. I wouldn't know; I've
never used EC2 and I don't</span><br>
<span>even know that much about it. I'm just

term.</span><br>

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