Multi tenant FreePBX

Update;
I made a booboo, according to Phillipel two! Sorry People!
Here is Phillipel's statement;
from philippel

"In response to your post:

You should read more carefully. First off, it’s ‘according to philippel’ (check the author), although Rob is well in the loop on this.

Second, 2.3 is the foundation on top of which a multi-tenant implementation could be developed. So you cannot move all your tenants over in 3-4 months.

According to Rob over at FreePBX, the long discussed project to make FreePBX a multi tenant Voip application, IPPBX is on the way.
He will put more efforts into making FreePBX 2.3 multi tenant ready;
"Before working on multi-tenant specific work, there is significant infrastructure work that must be done and is the theme of Version 2.3. The 2.3 Milestone information is a bit raw and work in progress, but outlines some of the issues. An incomplete summary of this work includes:

* Trunks and Routes need to be completely re-written.
* Foundation work for custom contexts.
* A much cleaner API (Quickform based) is being rolled out to improve the GUI.
* Move most of core to an online upgradeable module structure to better handle bug fixes.
* Several other internal changes required to improve system reliability and robustness.

And I’m sure I missed some important ones. These changes themselves amount to triple digit hours of work and are a prerequisite to multi-tenant.

Once they are done, and one reason why these must come first, is to meet our goal that multi-tenant will share a very close code base to the Single Tenant freePBX (what we have today). We do not want two separate branches. (The goal is for modules to be identical, and most of core as well)."

So Rob estimate is to about 3-4 months before you can move all your tenants in to one server.
Are you in a hurry to have multi tenant FreePBX, then discuss with Rob and if funding is in place, he might accommodate you.
