I started on a 500Mhz VIA chip with TDM400 card and that coped (still does) very well with the call load of 12 people and 3 analogue lines... So anything bigger is not going to have any issues. I also have several other Atom based servers - Asterisk and otherwise. Beware the cheap (fast!) little fans on them though - every single one has failled on me so-far.

Re: [asterisk-users] Intel Atom based Asterisk server?
Ira, Are you running anything clunky on there like FreePBX or mysql? And based on your experience with the Atom board, do you think you would have performance problems with said clunkiness?

Re: [asterisk-users] Intel Atom based Asterisk server?
The Atom boards are fine for Asterisk and even some clunkyness... Transcoding is where the Atom boards could cause issues but this is in the realm of 50 channels or so... ~ Andrew lathama Latham lath...@gmail.com * Learn more about OSS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software * Learn more about Linux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux * Learn more about Tux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 3:28 PM, Lyle Underwood lyleunderw...@gmail.com wrote: Ira, Are you running anything clunky on there like FreePBX or mysql?

Re: [asterisk-users] Intel Atom based Asterisk server?
Just Asterisk 1.6.2 on CENTOS 5. I can't imagine any problems at all, I don't think top has ever been over a couple percent except when I'm re-building asterisk. It's got 2Gb of ram so everything is in ram, I've never seen the swap file usage get past zero. Right now there's 512K free so it's a long way to go before hitting the disk.

[asterisk-users] Intel Atom based Asterisk server?
I currently have some Asterisk home servers on general pc hardware as well as a mission critical server asterisk pbx running on a Dell 2850 To reduce noise and power consumption i would like to migrate them all to an Intel Atom based solution, showstoppers so far were single NIC and single PCI slot motherboards. I found that Supermicro makes a Dual NIC board with one PCI slot and 2 PCI-Express slots (X7SLA-L) Has anyone tried running Asterisk + CentOS 5 on this (or any other) Atom board? Is the Atom platform able to handle the load of all the interrupts a TE110P or TDM400P card will generate ? I am aware about other solutions but i do use the servers for some other tasks therefore don't want to move to a dedicated pbx box based on Soekris or the likes. Thanks for any input! -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
