It's another one of those uber-simplified file storage platforms. It's not really in the same ballpark as Dropbox but very cool none the less.

A tech orientated follow up would be great! We're working on a FreeSWITCH solution for a client at the moment and would be very interested in a bit of background on yours.

FreeSWITCH is scaled over two servers. But there is a database & webserver which is also associated with the app and that runs off a third server. Load balancing is handled through a very simple software-based algorithm which looks at total calls being handled by each server and routes to the server with the least calls. No dedicated hardware for load balancing. Simultaneous inbound calls has peaked at about 3 thousand. FreeSWITCH is scaled over two servers.

I know have confidence to move away from Asterisk, i'm looking into moving into FreeSWITCH seriously especially for IVR applications hosting. Question: 1. when will the module for commercial ASR be ready? 2. how can i go about detect busy signals and answering machines in FreeSWITCH I need those features above? Hi Tony,
Thank you very much for FreeSWITCH. I know have confidence to move away from Asterisk, i’m looking into moving into FreeSWITCH seriously especially for IVR applications hosting.

Question:
1. when will the module for commercial ASR be ready?
2. how can i go about detect busy signals and answering machines in FreeSWITCH

I need those features above?

Freeswitch does a good job of handling that many calls, but system has to take data from somewhere, store data somewhere, and it has to be done with some programming language. So what was it?
