INTRODUCTION

SARK V4.0.0 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.

V4 background

V4 features a complete rewrite of the SARK PBX application front-end and a minor feature enhance to the sarkhpe logic engine. In V2 & V3 it became apparent that the idea of scrollable tables becomes unwieldy with high numbers of endpoints. With some of our customers having more than 700 extensions on a single system we needed a better way to handle these large tables. In the end we decided to make use of jquery to provide fast sortable, searchable tables with ajax cell update where practical. We also received a lot of requests from customers to provide limited admin capabilities for differing levels of user so we have also added an admin user page which allows the superadmin to create other admin users with varying levels of authority.

V3/V4 differences

  • new table structure - tables are sortable and freeform searchable without recourse back to the server.
  • Where practical, tables are ajax updateable.
    • Cells rendered in blue can be updated in-place.
  • User panel allows creation of sub-admins
  • Extended backup/recovery
  • Enhanced tenant support
