Doing 5000 calls on a dual Itanium is certainly fairly impressive, but I'd like to see more details - what exactly is being done to the calls (i.e. echo or milliwatt or ...?). I am not so sure that it would scale linearly as they expect in NUMA architecture - cache coherency issues will rear its ugly head very quickly. (If they are planning to have single asterisk instance. obviously 8 separate instances would handle 5000 calls each).
