Hi Jim, thanks for the information. Guess this is a tough question that the outcome depend on many factors as mentioned by you. You are right, if the performance of the deployment is not acceptable, then a 2nd system will have to be deployed though additional cost will be required. Thanks.

(NO web server, NO databases, and most importantly, NO GUI DESKTOP!) - Are you going to be doing a lot of transcoding? If you stick with G.711 you'll reduce the load on the CPU, but this is probably not realistic; especially if you'll be accepting VoIP connections. - Are you going to be doing conferencing? Mixing multiple channels in near-realtime is very CPU-intensive. - Will all 60 active channels be recording at the same time? This would impose a heavy I/O load on the system. Heavier if you add transcoding into the mix. I wonder if the most important question might be this: If you install such a system and the performance is not acceptable, are you prepared to deploy a second system to share the load? Cheers, Jim. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
