Re: [asterisk-users] HP server and Meetme applications

THis machine is well OVER POWERED for the task you define.
The greater issue will be the media bandwidth.
I have operated with 220 simultaneous g711 participants
in 18 ~ 20 different conferences.

Hi list

I install Centos 5.2 64 bit and it is rumming pretty well and I 
need  to use it as voice
conferencing application (Meetme) server for high number of 
users  fit to 8 E1 links

(240 users ) with echo cancellation using same coding use g711

my qustion is this server is this server suitable for 240 users on 
meetme application on the same asterisk  at the same time ? and what 
is the dimensions of one conference room should I biuld ?

and finally if i can go for more users at same server ?

Whatever answer you get, I would approach this project in a SLOW, 
METHODICAL manner. i.e put 1 E1 card, get system performance metrics and 
user experience
ADD the second card, TEST for voice quality and gather metrics.  And 
then TEST some more.
It will Likely work, BUT, I think you are  venturing into an area with 
some large potential alligators. But, don't plug everything in Friday 
afternoon and expect zero problems Monday morning :)

Hi.  Please don't thread-jack.

I got one HP ProLiant DL380 G5 - Quad-Core Xeon E5440 2.83 with 4
gig RAM I install Centos 5.2 64 bit and it is rumming pretty well
and I need to use it as voice conferencing application (Meetme)
server for high number of users fit to 8 E1 links (240 users ) with
echo cancellation using same coding use g711

I would be surprised.

I have a Core2Quad 2.4G machine with one Sangoma quad-T card
(admittedly, with*out* HWEC), that's meetme-ing 72 Zap channels from
Channelbanks into an equivalent number of IAX channels over 100BaseT;
each conference has at least one extra Record() app running full time,
as well as one playback.

This is a production machine, but it takes careful tuning to keep it
production-stable at that load (where my definition of
production-stable is if the load average breaks 2.0 for more than 5
consecutive half-minutes, I get nervous.).

You *might* get that to work, with HWEC, but I have no experience with
whether MeetMe is going to behave if you want it all to be One Big
Conference -- it will *certainly* depend on which Asterisk release
you're running, and my intuition says if you have to ask, you're not
the guy to set it up; pay someone.

Cheers,

I have set up a system with 180 users in meetme rooms on a single
server (4 x dual core Xeons) using a Sangoma a108D(8 port T1/E1 card
with hardware EC with 8 x T1s connected) and the machine was running
at high load but it was usable with good audio. Not sure what adding
another 60 channels to that would do in terms of load or audio
quality.

What is the exact application you are trying to build? What capacity
does the meetme room need to have in total?

I have actually built distributed meetme applications where you have
multiple servers that you can connect meetme rooms on one server to
another and have essentially unlimited capacity in a single functional
conference room as long as you have the hardware for it.

Shameless plug
I am going to be talking about this very subject at Astricon next
month, along with 2 other presentations I'm giving there, if you
happen to be going.
