asterisk users - Sep 2005 - Using Realtime queues and queue members

Hello,

We are about to attempt implementing realtime queues using Asterisk
Business Edition and are wondering if anyone has had any experiences or
recommendations /warnings with using this feature.

One issue we're trying to decide on is if we should have a MySQL server
running on the Asterisk server or a remote server to house the
database/tables for the queue settings/members. The concerns with
housing the tables on the Asterisk server are mostly resources; On the
remote server stability (if the remote server crashes or loses network
connection will Asterisk crash?) or the loss of members/queues (if the
Asterisk server remains running but can't connect to the remote server
to do queries). We will be having extremely high call volume going
through the Asterisk server.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

That's interesting. I haven't been paying attention to it but it has
been my
understanding that Business Edition does not support realtime in the current
release. 

However, if it does have realtime support, we are responsible for dozens of
servers running realtime with MySQL (and Apache, for that matter) on the PBX
without a single instance of instability from either of those applications. 

You don't state what you define as "extremely high call volumes"
but if you
expect to be pushing the limit of your server capacity, just add another
one. Hardware is cheap enough.

Good luck!
