We were working lately on some usage scenarios for minutetraders, our upcoming telecom trading marketplace, and realized that all the businesses not using voip for their long distance calls could greatly benefit from our platform.
According to the latest IDATE market report, “The telephony over IP (ToIP) market is growing steadily and
irreversibly, to the detriment of traditional (TDM) solutions. The larger the enterprise and the more sites it operates, the greater the likelihood of ToIP take-up: in France, for instance, 12% of SMEs were equipped with a VoIP solution at the start of 2006, compared to 56% of large corporations. These percentages have been rising steadily ever since, and particularly swiftly in the SME segment.”
minutetraders is the perfect environment to make sure those companies will be able to buy their minutes in bulk and not be tied to one operator - moreover that operator could be local or international, that ’s why SMEs are starting to understand the potential of voip !
Stay tuned, minutetraders is coming fast.. !

We were wondering recently how to achieve carrier grade service with a VoIP application - we find out, that apart from the fact of having a hot backup , we needed to be able to transparently switch over the hot backup without disrupting our end users service.
The solution came out as follow :
- 2x servers with an exact copy of data (mysql multi master replication)
- DNS settings with a TTL of 600 secondes
- a monitoring agent at the DNS level, checking Asterisk Manager (port 5038) every 3 minutes
After implementation, failover was working great, and sip user agents were able to failover to the standby Asterisk server after failure. Conclusion: disruption time is low and service continuity can be assured.
Some DNS providers charge hundred of dollars to achieve this kind of deployment, but it’s possible to find affordable ones giving you failover and TTL control.
