Dell is going to be selling Asterisk based solutions!

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Dell has entered a partnership to take to Fonality's affordable VoIP phone systems to small and midsize businesses.

This is big news for the VoIP world--and for the open-source Asterisk project underlying Fonality.

Dell will be selling the Fonality VoIP Phone System through its global SMB sales organization, as well as its channel.

Needless to say, the opportunity is huge. According to a Dell'Oro Group group analyst quoted in The Wall Street Journal (PDF), 35 million small businesses worldwide are expected to adopt VoIP calling over the next three years.
