Hi everyone,
I would like to join the choir of
Tom Warren: HA with state synchronisation would not just be a killer, it will
pave the road for the FreeSWITH all the way to the entrance of the Telco’s.
As a former co-owner of a hosted PBX
Telco, I would like to share my experience about customers: They do accept a disconnection
as long as it does not happen “often”, and as long as the call can
be re-established right after the disconnection. The period of “often”
depends on the type of customer, and it ranges from 1 month to 12 months. Mind
you, customers are used to the quality of mobile phones.
Therefore, I suggest that focus is
put on making the core stable and scalable as the first priority, and, as the
second HA-priority, to create the means required to ensure uninterrupted calls
during ‘hiccups’ in the box having the call.
