A complete decentralized cluster with high availability and load sharing

myPBX Platform - A completely decentralized "cloud" architecture

The myPBX Platform has been developed with a great idea in mind: to eliminate every Single Point of Failure. This is the reason every component of the myPBX Platform can be made redundant. In addition every server added to the myPBX Platform pool increases the overall capacity, posing no limits to the number of peers, clients and tenants that can be handled by a single myPBX Platform instance. In the picture, each of the components of the myPBX Platform is identified.

No Single Point of Failure

A "five nines" (99.999%) service uptime is often really difficult to achieve. The approach of the myPBX Platform to the service uptime problem is simple: eliminate every Single Point of Failure by enabling multiple servers to perform the same function from a user point of view and letting the users automatically choose one of the working servers. Having multiple servers providing the same service lets you increase the overall capacity just by adding more servers to the pool.

Multiple Decentralized Servers

How do they work?

Each client can connect to each one of the servers in the myPBX Platform pool and use whichever service he chooses. Internal calls, outbound calls, hunt groups, IVR, conferences, voicemails: each service works in exactly the same way regardless of where the peers are registered. A peer can change server and new calls will be immediately directed to the new server. Providers can receive registration for DIDs from multiple servers for redundancy and calls will be routed among the available servers to reach the registered peer.

Multiple Database Servers

How do they work?

All info is stored in the database, so the servers holding the database are the most important servers. The preferred database for myPBX Platform setup is MySQL. You can choose from a simple setup with just a pair of database servers in multimaster replication to the more complex involving the use of MySQL Cluster. Each database server in the pool holds ALL the info about the system, so in the event of a crash, no data is lost because info is replicated among all the database servers. Every server can query and update any of the database servers and they will keep info in sync among them. To increase the performance of the system, a dedicated read-only caching database can be installed on all other types of servers.

Multiple Web Servers

How do they work?

The interface for managing the myPBX Platform is web based, and with centralized information stored in the database, the interface can be easily replicated on multiple servers. Every aspect of the configuration or monitoring can be made by any of the web servers because all the info is in one place (replicated on multiple servers), the database!

Start small and grow as you go

You can start with a single server hosting all the components: myPBX Server, web interface and MySQL database. You can increase the number of servers as your business grows, adding more servers, separating the database from the other components and dedicating one or more server for the web interface. Increasing the overall capacity can be done without any interruption of service.
