Out of curiosity how many out there do actually have full labs of their environments? I know this is an arena where the full open-source guys have an advantage over those of us using big name vendors, since getting the budget for a pair of SBC's can be hard enough, let alone getting budget for another one just to play with.
We're one of the open source types. I don't know if I'd call it a "lab" but we have a VMware VI3 cluster where we keep VMs of all the major Asterisk releases and can clone/test in a few minutes. We also have some spare machines in each colo where we can do whatever we want. Quite often we test something in a VM and then deploy on hardware. Or deploy in the VM cluster if it's not something with heavy load. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 Advanced phone services simplified
