Fonality, Tech Data Sign Open Source Unified Communications Deal
,----[ Quote ]
| Fonality, a small provider of open source unified communications software
| originally based on Asterisk (the IP PBX), has scored a distribution deal
| with Tech Data Corp. This is the latest in a growing list of channel wins for
| Fonality, and it reinforces Asterisks’ growing momentum among solutions
| providers.
|
| [...]
|
| Now for another twist: Although Fonality, Digium and other open source IP PBX
| makers offer on-premise solutions, we’re starting to see a subtle shift to
| cloud-based Asterisk services. Fonality’s Hybrid-Hosted approach, as you may
| have guessed, involves a mix of on-premise and hosted solutions.

Fonality Harnesses Open Source Telephony for SMBs
,----[ Quote ]
| “Asterisk consists of 200,000 lines of code,” says Lyman. “We wrote 1.3
| million lines of code. It wasn’t an overnight coding job, if you know what I
| mean. Just to put it in perspective of just how ‘thin’ Asterisk is compared
| to the code we had to write, we were 25 engineers and four years into writing
| application code, and we probably had twice as many people working on our
| product as were working on Asterisk itself. People who understand software
| know that it’s exponentially hard to make things simple in software. Asterisk
| is written in C, and a lot of our code is written in web code, so that’s
| actually written in PERL and HTML.
