Thanks for the prompt response. I apologize if my message came the wrong way. The objective of my message was to know whether anyone used multiple instances of asterisk (10-20) within virtual machines and how well it behaves under that scenario. I know there are many people using single-tenant and multi-tenant versions of asterisk management and billing packages, but I don't really know if anyone is using it within virtual machines and how well that scales. I wouldn't mind trying it, but since it will probably involve having to purchase multiple software licenses, we want to avoid the $ expense (although we don't mind spending our time researching and testing) if it may not work properly.
