This. The VM and everything about Erlang in general is designed for this particular task. Just sit down and learn you some Erlang - it's a bit weird and alien, but it's not so hard and you either do it or regret not doing it. You could, I suppose, hack something together using multiple JVMs per machine (avoid global GC) and Akka and implement some custom live diagnostics, but if you're really doing a telecommunications project there's no real shortcut. Plain Akka will cut it in many cases but it's not a thoroughbred like Erlang. Give up, Erlang just can't be beaten at its home turf by a framework.
