A 2u server with a single processor and 1GB of memory will more than suffice. RAID for the voicemail store.
 
Considering the application, we'll be happy to set it up for you once you have the hardware. Contact me off list.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Thoughts on building a Voicemail only Asteriskserver?

Hello List -

I've done some reading on voip-info regarding hardware requirements for an Asterisk server; but I haven't been able to find anyone doing what we plan to, so I am hoping you can assist.

We are looking to provide a voice mail only Asterisk solution for approx. 100 homeless people, a customer of ours is planning to provide the service.

The Asterisk service will reside in our data center which will provide the TDM->SIP GW so the Asterisk will receive all it's calls via SIP.

A rough overview of what I think we will need:

- A non-redundant server running Asterisk
-- -- The Asterisk build will have a very simple dial plan
-- -- -- Two inbound DID's (one for checking vmail and one for leaving voice mail for an extension)
-- -- -- A management interface for the voice mail boxes, so I will need to run Apache

- A disk array (either local RAID or external NAS) to house the voice mail storage.
-- -- The voice mail system will allow 30MB of storage per user, so 30MBx100users=3GB
-- -- I'd like the 3GB of storage to be in either in the RAID or dumped onto an NFS or NAS

Does anyone have any recommendations on a server that might fit the bill above?
Or experience running a similar application?

Just looking for some thoughts on RAM, Processor speed, Disc etc...

Thanks in advance.

-Chris
