Asterisk with JumpBox

Asterisk is a toolkit for building telephony-based applications. It contains all the necessary components to build complex phone interfaces with features like IVR trees, speech recognition and synthesis, call recording and routing. With over two million users it's the world's most popular open source telephony project.

JumpBox provides very simple to use virtual appliances based around Open Source software. Any JumpBox will run on VMWare as well as Parallels Desktop and Server, Microsoft Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and Xen Open Source. With a Pro subscription you can also run on Amazon EC2 and with the features of the JumpBox platform can easily move your installation from a local install to an install in the cloud and back at any time.

A JumpBox requires one quick step of configuration via a web browser with no need to touch a command line. Each JumpBox also includes a simple web based management interface that includes the JumpBox Backup System. The JumpBox Backup System allows you to export the state to NFS, Windows File Sharing or Amazon S3 (This provides an easy means offsite backup and entry-level disaster recovery).

JumpBox appliances are updated on a regular basis with all the latest components of the software stack along with application fixes.
