Good point, we'll bear this in mind.

One thing to be aware of is that Dell blade (as well as many other brand) servers are very heavy beasts.

In any deployment with these, check the physical dimensions, check the weight and ensure that it will actually install into the rack that you are using. Also, check the power consumption and heat output and check with your data centre supplier once you know your final rack configuration that it is within their permitted limits. This is essential!

Subject: [Asterisk-biz] Asterisk on Dell blade servers


We've been asked to quote for a large cluster running Asterisk and our ITSP in a box product. The system will be SIP throughout, with mixed codecs.

We're considering using Dell blade servers, 1855 or similar, on the grounds that we normally use Dell machines and they work well, but we need higher rack density.

Has anyone used these? Any feedback on whether they're good/bad/indifferent? What scalability do you get on simple SIP-SIP forwarding either with or without RTP passing through Asterisk?
