The High Availability for Asterisk (HAAst) add-on offers rapid automatic failover of a failed peer, IP sharing, advanced peer health detection, intelligent synchronization of files and databases, etc. HAAst also supports manual promote/demote for maintenance, a command line interface, a telnet interface, a web based interface, and a developer API. Installation is straight forward, with no additional hardware required, no additional or complex heartbeat/cluster/etc software required either. HAAst is available in Free and Commercial editions, in use at call centers, hospitals, and other high-uptime environments. See ((High Availability Asterisk (HAAst) )) for more information. | | | | | | -!!Bundled HA Solutions (with OS Level Cluster) | | -These solutions use generic heartbeat/clustering at the OS level, bundled with a custom version of Asterisk. They use their own variant of Asterisk, custom GUI, etc. As noted on the ((Asterisk High Availability Design)) wiki page, these solutions create clusters at the OS level and are not deeply Asterisk aware, environmentally aware, trunk aware, etc. The benefit of these solutions is that they use off-the-shelf pieces to creat a cluster, the down side is they mirror corrupt data from one peer to the other, they don't detect deep Asterisk related & environmental failures, and they can be complex to administer (the HA). Some of these are clearly works in progress as well. | | +!!
