A company maintaining dual-licensed PBX software has launched two partner programs. Digium's “Solutions” program includes value-added resellers of its Asterisk PBX product, while its “Interoperability” program includes vendors whose products work well with Asterisk.

Digium began offering a commercial version of Asterisk in March, based entirely on the open source version, with added testing.

Digium says its salespeople will promote its partners' products, and that it will maintain an online directory listing partners. Additionally, partners gain the right to use the Digium and Asterisk logos, and receive credit towardy certifying their products with Asterisk.

Digium says initial partners include:

• Aculab — Network and communications hardware
• Aheeva — Contact center solutions
• Cepstral — Audio, telephony, assistive, embedded
• Empirix — VoIP test solutions & VoIP test equipment
• Fonality — Turnkey PBX systems with GUI
• IPSando — The IP communications company
• Polycom, Inc. — IP office and conference phones
• Ranch Networks — IP PBX phone systems for SMBs
• Switchvox — IP PBX phone systems for SMBs
• Tello — Business integration software
• VoIP Reach — VoIP vendor solution, consulting & administration, termination & origination, e411 directory assistance
• Vonik — Virtual PBX

Asterisk was used recently by a non-profit organization setting up a system for free VoIP calls between universities. Additionally, Linux-Watch recently published an editorial praising the company for its fun attitude.
