3 to 4 of my counter parts in k12 are moving or have moved to Asterick. They have even been able to add some redundance to it with SQL DBs exchanging configs.<div><br></div><div>I have to admit I'm pretty impressed with what they have done.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But it's kind of like web filtering. You can either pay licensing for a good product or you can go open source and pay the labor? The choice is yours.</div><div><br></div><div>In the Education vertical, I have seen / heard and are planning to move to exchange for UM from Unity. Under site licensing we can get Exchange UM for really no extra costs. and the rate at which Cisco has been charging for Unity maintenance it's a real driver. If Cisco does that with other products, we will look at other options. OCS vs CUPS. again for education M$s SLA it's a no brainer.</div>

While they have good product it's getting too expensive for a value to use type ratio, just like it is to run Microsoft products. We're seeing a move from Cisco to Juniper for routers and switches and then from Callmanager to Asterisk phone systems. They're cheaper to run and customers are not paying for featues they do not use often.<br>
