Many companies had been involved in creating IP centrex solutions, some proprietary and some based on Asterisk. As the world of virtualization and cloud computing had become predominant in today's economy, so had the concept of IP centrex systems been negated by these technologies.

The talk will introduce a new way of thinking about Multi-Tenant office systems, without having the need to invest in building an IP centrex. Utilizing well known Asterisk related projects, such as FreePBX and QueueMetrices, a provider can build their own IP centrex environment, at a lower cost.

People attending the talk will walk away with new ideas and concepts of implementing high scale virtual office environments, utilizing readily available Open Source and Commercial Asterisk products.

As asterisk based systems become more widely deployed in larger environments and corporations, high Availability has become a much more important subject, given the involvement of bottom lines in the performance of the systems.

This will be a very practical, yet well supported speech. Attendees will learn the parts of a higly dependable system and three different ways to achieve High Availability, with the Pros and Cons of each approach.

Examples will be shown on how to configure systems.

Talking about High Availability has many different points of view. Many think it is only about having very expensive hardware.

But the main goal of this speech is to show that further up the way there are other layers of the system itself which need to be solved in order to provide a very higly dependable service.

We will talk about hardware redundancy, system redundancy, and configuration redundancy. Will show how we have deployed redundant systems based on Virtual environments with all the above, and its pros-cons.

Will show how to do database active replication, for configuration replication And will show how to set one system to follow on another system's footsteps in order to take over in case of failure.

As said, we would address some of the layers that mixed together can create a very reliable system.

But also will talk about about how different layouts of these parts may affect your reliability, as well as your bottom line.

At the end of the speech, participants will know at least three different approaches to redundancy.

Is the Asterisk dialplan dead? Of course not. However, call control is being reinvented in several exciting new ways. In this talk, we explore new models for building voice applications such as Adhearsion and our own implementation of an in-cloud dialplan API with Twilio. Taking a programmer's perspective, we highlight desirable dialplan properties such as simplicity, automatic scalability, integration with existing databases and servers, and separation of business logic from telephony logic. We also explore the tradeoffs that Twilio has made to simplify the experience of building voice applications, including the concept of encapsulating the state of a voice call in a URL. We conclude with thoughts about how Asterisk could be streamlined for in-cloud dialplan APIs and the services that support them.

Virtualization has evolved from being a buzz-word sme years ago to reality nowadays. It's widely used by small and medium size companies and gives them the ability to reduce costs and build scalable systems.

On the oother hand, running Asterisk under a virtualization environments can get a bit tricky.

This talk will cover the setup of several Asterisk servers under Xen focusing on performance and giving tips and tricks needed to solve the problems that could arise.

This discussion presents the different types of virtualization technologies and the benefits of Kernel level virtualization with OpenVZ as the platform to build Asterisk PBX’s on. This discussion will also include a step-by-step tutorial on building the OpenVZ server, creating the Asterisk PBX Virtual Environment, operating the server and performing periodic maintenance. Service providers can use this arraignment to deploy Asterisk PBX’s on modern robust server hardware to minimize rack space and power in the data center.

Cloud computing is one of the biggest things to happen to VoIP in the last three years.

We'll provide an introduction to cloud computing, outline the implications for Asterisk, and show how to get Asterisk running in the cloud in minutes.

You'll learn the steps, tips and tricks, and pitfalls to avoid when installing Asterisk in the cloud.

Questions we'll answer:

* Is cloud computing right for your Asterisk needs?
* What are the limitations of cloud computing?
* How can I use the cloud to scale?
* Is my data safe in the cloud?
