Clustered Asterisk with BioCluster
With promises and road maps to cluster anything that could be clustered as well as traditionally unclusterble devices, BioCluster peer-to-peer clustering engine, has come out with Asterisk Cluster solution.
BioCluster now in beta, is a peer-to-peer clustering platform for Asterisk, the Open Source PBX. It is meant to be installed on several machines together with Asterisk, and turns them into a VoIP cluster, which can then be managed as a whole, with data replicated across it. Thus there is no single point of failure, and machines can be easily added or removed from the cluster.
