SARK V3.1.0
INTRODUCTION
SARK V3.1.0 is a lightweight TDM & Voip PBX for the SMB/SME market segment. It is based upon Digium's Asterisk switching platform running on either; the SME Server platform; the PIKA Technologies Warp embedded platform or Centos/Redhat EL5 Linux. The product has established a reputation for being easy-to-use with a very small footprint while being functionally able to compete with traditional proprietary PBX offerings at a much lower overall cost-of-ownership.
There is also a high availability add-on which can give SARK users close to 100% uptime for their PBX (at the cost of a second server).
SARK V3.1.0 is delivered as a series of Redhat RPMs ready to be installed onto an existing SME server 8.x or vanilla EL5; It is also available as a ready to install .iso image or as a complete ready-to-run system on regular Intel hardware or on the Warp PPC embedded platform.
The commercial version of the software is marketed under the SARK and ManX brandnames. The free-to-download version is called SAIL (SARK Asterisk Integration Layer). The main difference between SAIL and the commercial versions is that SARK UCS/MVP and ManX are supported by Aelintra Telecom Limited while SAIL is supported by the community. You will see SARK and SAIL used interchangeably throughout these pages.
SARK V3.1.0 is distributed under the terms of the GPL and other licenses.
