How Many Asterisk Deployments?
I know that there is no way to determine an exact number, or even a close number, but does anyone know a ballpark figure of how many Asterisk deployments are out there worldwide? How about the percentage of Asterisk PBX’s compared to the total number of PBX‘s out there? Do our friends at Digium ever think about things like this?

Well, I’d guess everyone who administers or co-administers an Asterisk PBX at work probably also has one at home for experimenting on (whether or not it’s patched through to their office system); perhaps even with some antique telephones plugged into it via an FXS card …..
Hi AJ
To try for a more numeric response I did a quick check on ShodanHQ shows the following PBX counts – I am sure it is not a complete count but kind of gives a minimum as many do not show the server type where Shodan can find it.
