The two way sync of files and databases is hardly 'load balancing" Fusion needs Kamailio or Opensips to accomplish any REAL load balancing.

Does FreePBX have built in load balancing? Or is it easy to do in FusionPBX?

Or HA?

Not sure about Freepbx, I think there is a commercial module
In wazo project (also open source) there is HA solution
If you pass Fusionpbx training it should not be so hard and mcrane alwayes available in irc for help

@babak I can appreciate the Fusion promo but no one here is likely to get Fusion training, just the wrong crowd. Lots of better places to promote.

So for your answer about it is easy for HA in Fusionpbx I should tell if you know how to read source code and have enough time , it is not so hard

Because of my job I should know and evaluate different VOIP open source solutions for call center, Application server for services like customized ring back tone(for PSTN lines)...
Fusionpbx with DNS SRV and BDR is able to do both loadbalancing and High Availability.
Would you point me to Provisioning of IP phones like
Yealink, Polycom...or Hot desking or call Broadcast in Freeswitch code?

The two way sync of files and databases is hardly 'load balancing" Fusion needs Kamailio or Opensips to accomplish any REAL load balancing.

So you are looking for additional solutions to FusionPBX?

Third Lane has, by far, the best GUI I have seen, load balancing, and is inexpensive as far as I remember. https://www.thirdlane.com/

It is multi tenant and also has an impressive desktop app.

You may also like Sipwise CPBX https://www.sipwise.com/products/cpbx-for-enhanced-cloud-communications/

If both Freeswitch internal database and Fusionpbx database saved in postgresql and with BDR replicated , there is intelligence in Fusionpbx code that realize the destination extension registered in which server and makes a dialstring to destination server.Theoretically uptil 48 server but I agree Kamailio/Opensips have many advantages but still there is a smooth migration path,I think without any configuration change it is possible to insert opensips+ midregistrar module in front of BDRed Fusionpbx servers. Users and phones still provisioned in Fusionpbx and opensips load balancing traffic and also absorb 90% of registering signals.(still inter-server routing could be done with Fusionpbx es themself)
I like Sipwise Architecture specially it has an opensource version www.sipwise.org , sometimes I think is it possible to have same Sipwise Architecture but use Freeswitch as media proxy and b2ba ?

Fusionpbx adds some features to freeswitch via lua scripts like:
Follow Me - Hot Desking - Call Block - Call Broadcast - Call Flows - Contacts
Fax Server - Ring Groups - Domain based Multi-Tenant - Time Conditions -
New Voicemail - Call Barge / Eavesdrop / Intercept - Attended Transfer -
Operator Panel - Dashboard - Powerful IPphone provisioning - Nice Call Detail records -
Call Recording - Nice Dialplan manager - Colorful web based log viewer and script editor -
Transactions Audit - Upgrade of source code and database via web
With "XML Handler" FreeSWITCH XML configuration files can be generated on
the fly from the FusionPBX database.(This increase performance in large installations and
make Freeswitch Multi server installation easier)
Windows installation (Freeswitch+Fusionpbx)
