Although the only company that "makes" Asterisk is Digium and they would definitely never say something so crazy. Vendors "make" the products, resellers (VARs) sell them next down the line. Its not a vendor, they are the company that developed the phone system, just like 3CX.3CX is a vendor. Its not a vendor, they are the company that developed the phone system, just like 3CX. These are REALLY basic mistakes for your vendor to make. So basically, these guys don't know Asterisk, phones or virtualization yet you pay them for systems that they aren't knowledgable on? Why do you use them if they don't' know anything about phones or their own platform? That makes no sense. For these reasons, we do not recommend using virtualization. Overall, the use of virtualization adds more complexity, creates new problems and reduces the stability

Install and the hardware it is installed upon. When you virtualize, you add another layer of the operating system between the functional Linux We do not recommend using any Linux virtualization within a (phone system name). We also will not be able to get support from the company that developed the phone system if we virtualize because they strongly discourage virtualization and will not provide support to anyone running it on VMs.īefore we get into a discussion on hardware, we want to discuss use of virtual machines andĬontainerized Linux. We have virtualized 3CX PBX servers, but our asterisks phone system is the one that runs into issues.

Someone really is confused about what the real issue is and blamed something that can't possibly be the issue. We've been doing PBX VMs since 2004 and it wasn't new then. Phones systems should definitely always be virtual. Applications are not "developed" to work or not work on virtualization, virtualization and applications do not interact. Time sync issues woudl just mean that the OS and/or VM wasn't set up properly. We ran into a lot of time sync issues which affected call quality, so we fired up 20 bare metal servers.
