Dear All,

2b, Clustering (High Availability/failover for file server, but no shared-storage hardware)

Hi

My knowledge of Asterisk is not very strong but, probably, you could check the HW compatibility list and found the most suitable card:

Shalom Maaz,

It would help to know what you are trying to accomplish.

I have no clue in 1.

2a. Best solution is probably LVS or piranha. If you are careful you can use a round robin DNS to provide load balancing with less hassle.

2b. Serviceguard from HP or Red Hat Cluster Suite. Both are well proven. I'm not a fan of RH quality control but use RHCS all over the place.

1. Trixbox, Adminsparadise
2a. LVS+mon
2b. Heartbeat+Rsync(or GFS filesystem)
