I'm getting ready to do my 3rd install with piaf. I absolutely love it. My clients are happy and I am too.
So far I have a 60 ext system at one place and a cloud based setup in another that supports 2 users.
This next install is for a busier client who rely's on their phones heavily but there are only 5 people in the business and only 2 take calls normally during the day.
I can't decide if I want to do a raspberry pi install for them or do it cloud based. We have them on a static ip cable internet connection 50/50. So I know that speed wont be an issue, I just wonder if I get any advantage using the pi over just having the cloud unit. I would do a dedicated vps for them and use security to lock it down to their ip only and the trunk. I do have a pair of landlines I leaving there as well for emergencies as well. I use cloud for my business and it's fine. I use softphones and haven't had any issues.
I've already discussed back up with them and if their system goes down, we'll route calls to their cells.
Thoughts?
