[VoiceOps] Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft

[Peter Rad.]

 From what I have been told, Asterisk can handle 300 simultaneous calls 
per user. Most ITSPs wouldn't know because they aren't seeing that kind 
of volume.

Cbeyond bought a company called Aretta that did Asterisk in containers - 
one for each customer. It became unmanageable.

Just some thoughts this morning.
