33 Topology Overview

34 Design Questions: Before You Start Failover / reduced capacity plans? Your systems and processes Provider support, certification & testing Auto or manual failover? Do eliminated risks justify increased investment?

35 Design Questions: Before You Start Expected life of the system 20, 10, 5 years? Gradual or rip/replace? Digium VoIP gateways ~$1,300+ Edgewater Networks 4601 T1 PRI, MOS syslog ~$1,200+ Keep questioning/reviewing/adjusting.

36 Fact: Voice over IP & Asterisk beat traditional telephony, when considering disaster recovery.
