Mark and the rest of the crew in Huntzville have officially released their first software appliance, called AsteriskNow™. This Blackfin based appliance runs Linux and the Open-Source version of Asterisk, along with a Digium-Designed web-based GUI.

“Digium appreciates the initial response to AsteriskNOW. We placed the initial beta version on AsteriskNOW.org last month and have experienced over 2,000 downloads per day without any promotion! Our goal of reducing the complexity of installing and using Asterisk will expand the market for Digium into more mainstream use,” said Mark Spencer, president of Digium and creator of Asterisk. “Unlike other Linux distributions used to deploy Asterisk, AsteriskNOW does not have unnecessary components that could compromise security or performance.”
