Asterisk SCF: Make Open Source Cloud Telephony Happen

It’s been two months since Asterisk SCF was announced in AstriCon 2010. It really brings a lot of expectation to the open source community and it’s worth our waiting. Asterisk SCF is still in heavy development and will not be expected to be beta-level software until some time in 2011. But are you ready when it hits the ground? If you would like to start developing on Asterisk SCF, please Visit the Asterisk SCF wiki  to find information on downloading and building the Asterisk SCF source, documentation on the architecture, and see the Roadmap.

asterisk-scfAsterisk SCF is a framework that allows developers to create real-time communications applications that include voice, video and text and that meet the demands of a full range of uses, from embedded applications to enterprise and carrier solutions. Asterisk SCF is architected to provide the highest levels of availability, scalability, extensibility, fault-tolerance and performance.

Asterisk SCF will be delivered as a system of distributed components that can be deployed in clusters on a single system or on many systems, transparently. The Asterisk SCF platform will support, as a part of its basic architecture, the full range of real-time IP communications, including video, multi-channel wideband and ultra-wideband audio, chat, desktop sharing and other media types that may arise in the future.

Asterisk SCF is not a replacement for Asterisk, the world’s most widely used open source voice communications platform. Digium and the Asterisk community are committed to the continued development and support of Asterisk, the telecommunications software.
