Re: [asterisk-biz] Trixbox Pro?

As a tangent – I certainly see the benefits to ‘centrally served web services’ you only have to see what I was trying to do 2 years ago with Tellme http://www.cognation.net/asterisk/Tellme/index.htm to see that I was a bleeding edge believer in webservices however…I think the real issue people are feeling with Trixbox pro is that you are totally at Fonality’s mercy – if they switch the services off (or worse increase the price) you’re stuck.

I agree Tim, my first foray into pro was a little disappointing. The same experience as trying to communicate directly with Fonality. I think that the centrally managed iPBX platform certainly has merit though.

We, along with our business partners are implementing a hosted iPBX offering here in Australia using Asterisk, Interactive Intelligence and an Alcatel solution. This will be based on the model that says that where possible handsets register to the core over a managed data service, on site proxy's will be used only for redundancy and  high user availability. This addresses the extra cost component in the main. We also provide proxy registration by using a gateway (GSM) that also has this function built in. CE is a great product and I understand the value of central management of back-up files so we will deliver this as well.

We have installed a lot of Trixbox CE servers. From my opinion the
Hybrid hosted solution for Trixbox Pro doe not make sense to my client
base. You still have to sell them a server and phones for the system.
Why would they then pay a monthly fee per extension fee if they have
already purchased all the equipment up front? I'm sticking with the free
CE version for my customers. The only way I see this working is if the
end user them selves buys a TrixBox Pro version and plan on having a
service agreement from Fonality/TrixBox. Just my opinion.
