Overview

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.

SARK V3.1.0 is distributed under the terms of the GPL and other licenses.
