Hi Erick -
Now This thread tells me that my dual core pentium d (a 700$ computer) will do the work. (the other equipment costs about 3500.00$). I do realize that i must minimize transcoding (ulaw all the way) but you're telling me it will work for 24 users (let's say 30 for round numbers) all with SIP phones in an IP network.
I do more with less hardware without any problems. In one of our offices I have a single P4 2.8Ghz with 1GB Ram and two SATA RAID 1 drives. This machine currently serves about 35 sip phones (about 25 actively used), has a TE410P with one PRI, a TDM22 handling 2 backup POTS lines on the FXO's and fax machines on the FXS's, and connects to 6 other offices via IAX that transcode to GSM. It also acts as a DNS resolver, the FTP server for the Polycom SIP phones, and runs NTP. At one point I had it running FOP, which is fairly resource intensive. It could very easily handle much more. Top shows the CPU is between 92% (12 active channels) and 99.8% (2 active channels) idle, and memory usage at about 470MB total, 290MB active. All this is to say that you have plenty of hardware for your current needs and considerable growth. - Noah _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
