Adhearsion Website and Sandbox Migration Complete

Media_httpjsgoeckefil_ahqti
Over the last week we have been working to migrate various Adhearsion services to new homes. This could not have come a moment too soon, as during the migration one of the hard drives in our server in Texas gave up the ghost. Of course we used RAID, so we did not miss a beat, but clearly it was time to move along. To this end we have now migrated the Adhearsion website, wiki and API docs to Amazon EC2. Leveraging S3 and EBS we have a great solution that allows us to quickly fire up more servers if and when needed. The cloud is great. We have also moved the Sandbox to a new hosted server.

Our friends at Voxeo have provided a great server for us and are now sponsoring the Adhearsion Sandbox. It is great to have a visionary leader in the telephony cloud space involved with the Adhearsion community. I would like to take this opportunity to remind folks what the Adhearsion Sandbox provides. We have provided a hosted system that takes away the need to install your own Asterisk to get started developing Adhearsion applications. Simply install Adhearsion, sign-up for a Sandbox account and get started writing apps. Our goal is to lower all the barriers to make it easy for developers to realize the possibilities of voice in modern web development. Enjoy the new servers!

Three new ways to access the Adhearsion Sandbox

Since the launch of the new Adhearsion website earlier this year we have made a Getting Started Sandbox available to developers. We want everyone to easily give Adhearsion a try without having to setup an entire telephone system to do so. All you need to do is install Adhearsion (and maybe Ruby, depending on which operating system you use) and you may immediately begin using our free Sandbox in the cloud. Here are the new access methods that we have recently added (more details are available on the Getting Started page here):

Phonefromhere has a Java IAX2 client that is a great way to access the Sandbox from the internet. Tim Panton of Phonefromhere has graciously made his hosted system available to us. Check out their app, as I am sure you will find it useful for your new Adhearsion applications as you roll them out.

We have been participating in the Skype for Asterisk (SFA) closed beta. We have already developed the Skype Utils Adhearsion component that I mentioned in a previous blog post and will be making available as part of the Sandbox soon. In the meantime you may use Skype to access the Sandbox to get a preview of how you may easily develop apps for the Skype world leveraging Adhearsion and Asterisk.

Voxbone has kindly donated a 10 channel inbound phone number for use with the Adhearsion Sandbox. So now you may simply use any old telephone to test your Adhearsion applications on the Sandbox infrastructure. Enjoy!
