I'd say you'd need at least a Quad Pentium 4 Xeon 3.2ghz server. 4gb of RAM and a Raid 5 array with 5 120gb 10,000 rpm SCSI drives. Check ibm.com for it.
:-) Just Kidding. Seriously though, 8 extensions isn't much. When you say "trunk lines" though, do you mean 2 Voice T1/PRI's? Each with 23 phone lines? That's 46 phone lines for 8 extensions. Maybe I'm misreading it, it is 5am here. For only 8 extensions, the server can be as simple as a P3 500mhz, w/ 512mb of RAM and a 20gb hard drive. Make sure linux is cleanly installed and only needed services are loaded. You can get this system off of PriceWatch.com or something. The analog conversion can be done by 4 Sipura SPA-2000's, or SPA-2100's if you need router capabilities. I personally use Dell PowerEdge rack mount servers, like the 1650 or the 1750 models. I also use Gentoo Linux, my understanding is BKW (a well-know asterisk contributor) uses a similar setup. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 5:04 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] hardware details Hello, I want to build a PBX with the following specs : 1. we have two trunk lines 2. we need upto 8 extensions - all analog phones maybe one voip phone What is hardware that I need and where to find it ?
