Anyone running YMP on a hosted cloud platform like AWS with multiple instants on it. Wondering how your customers are liking it if call quality is good and the PBX response well. Also is there any failover incase the instant or YMP crash ?

Hi Gregory,
It's a good question. I will explain.
YMP is the management plane. It allows you to create instances of phone systems (but is not a phone system itself). Think of it as a container for virtual PBXs. Yeastar Service Delivery Platform for PBX Providers | Yeastar
The cloud PBX comes in two flavours. The first is a turnkey PBX. The PBX is managed by you but is hosted by Yeastar's servers. I have an instance of this that we run, the main server is in an Australian data centre, but there are redundant servers. It works well like anything, if you have a good internet connection and network control.

The second PBX is a BYOD variant, whereby you bring your hardware and Yeastar verify it and install their cloud PBX on it. This allows the infrastructure to be part of your domain and can be labelled as such.

Therefore you don't need your own servers to be able to use Cloud. Most people who use decentralization services do so to avoid the setup of appropriate networking (VPN tunnels, certificates, firewalls and IDS/IPS). If all you need are remote phones, the cloud PBX is the way to go. On-premise systems are still very popular however, particularly if your business is still based in-office.
Then there is a hybrid model, that can take advantage of either on-premise or cloud Linkus as a service, where the extension moves with you on your mobile phone, so you can operate with presence status, voicemail, direct extension calling and transfer. This works by building a secure tunnel to communicate either with the on-premise or cloud Linkus service that has transparency to the PBX.
There are different models to suit different situations. Factors to be considered and have an impact are:
- Network quality
- Failover and least cost routes (cellular, other direct PBX communication)
- The number of workers, concurrent calls, call quality (codec negotiation).
- Upstream carrier and their services
My experience with Yeastar Cloud is very good - comparable with an on-premise system.
I hope this helps.
Craig great info and thank you - I currently install a lot of the On site Yeastar systems like the S series but wanting too get into the hosted recurring revenue model. I didn't realize you could have Yeastar hosted PBX system hosted on their servers. I will look into pricing, I would assume you could just keep building out PBX systems while they hosted it ?
