At Monmouth Telecom we provide high-availability cloud based telephone systems for medium to large companies. Because
we have written our own code in Ruby it is easy for us to customize or add additional features at the request of customers,
often at no charge, and that is key to our business.

Several years ago our engineering team developed a real time display panel for managers and operators alike that kept people
abreast of the status of phone extensions, conference bridges, and call queues, as well as allowing a variety of call control
features.  We wrote this in ruby so that it would be easy to extend.  The web display panel accesses customer data through
Active Record and is based on HTML5 with canvas and web sockets so it doesn’t require setup on the customer site.
Unsurprisingly it was one our more popular features and so we immediately started monitoring Rubinius as our migration path
for the day when one core of our 8 processor cores would become insufficient to meet demand.  Well earlier this year
