For you Broadsoft customers out there... Are you using their HA model where you split the clusters (AS, NS, etc), and put one member in a remote site? How's that working for you? Thanks, David

Pretty well, all things considered. We have had a couple of site-wide failures (a certain colo provider has had a couple of really embarrassing little episodes with total power failures) where a lot of the traffic switched over to the other site with minimal fuss. Not everything, our network topology wouldn't support that, but I had no complaints about how BW handled it. --Jon Radel

This is the more common deployment model that I encounter. I would say at least 80% of folks (that I talk to) split the cluster for geo redundancy and deploy multiple Acme PAcket SBC's in the network (one pair at each location). On Nov 17, 2011, at 5:50 PM, David Hiers wrote:

Any issues with latency, especially as it relates to database and file replication on the AS or NS? Any configuration needed to "tune" for the added latency? On Nov 18, 2011, at 10:20 AM, Mark Holloway <mh at markholloway.com> wrote:

BW docs rattle on and on about bandwidth; don't find much chatter about latency between servers. David On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 7:36 AM, PE <peeip989 at gmail.com> wrote:

Our primary link between the 2 sites is a ds3. Haven't seen any issues due to this. Didn't even see any issues when that ds3 failed and the packets took the long way around. --Jon Radel On 11/18/11 11:15 AM, David Hiers wrote:

Not really, we have one NS in Singapore, Dallas, New York, and San Jose.

We run two appserver pairs split over NYC and SJC for geo redundancy. We also run NS/MS in NYC and SJC as well as DAL and SIN. Users are added to one of the two pairs based on utilization. This works very well for us today, back in the old days (I have been running BroadWorks since release 2) replication over 3000 miles caused problems, but its fine today. I highly recommend anyone deploying BroadSoft to do it in a geographically redundant model.
