What is the application for 160 FXS ports? Are you hooking up a hotel or something? I would think the application would determine what level of HA you need. In some cases having a warm standby on site would be sufficient. In the case of a failure of box 1 you could have someone go to the switch room and fire up box 2. This works in cases where a minute or two of downtime would be inconvenient but not a show-stopper.<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Happy New Year!<br>
<br>
What would you recommend for a solution that requires ~160 fxs ports?<br>
Should I get a Sangoma A200, in fact 7 of them and put them on to my<br>
server or look for other products like Audiocodes/Patton fxs gateways<br>
etc?<br>
If I choose Sangoma cards, then I don't think I can set up a HA<br>
scenario since, all fxs ports will be on the FS box itself.<br>
But from what I've read people have horrible things to say about most<br>
gateway devices. They are prone to failure and the support is also<br>
very lax.<br>
So what good would be HA anyway, if one of these gateways fails and<br>
knocks 32 fxs ports off!<br>
Also I see that Sangoma is actively involved with the FreeSwitch<br>
project and digging through the mailing lists, I could see great<br>
support as well.<br>
Is it advisable to have 6-7 cards with 12 fxs modules each on my FS server?<br>
<br>
Any suggestions/pointers/heads-up would be really appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
