The busiest server I am managing reaches 120 concurrent channels (with mixed recording). It is a dual processor, dual core Intel 5150 with 16 GB of ram and raid sas controller. The load reaches rarely 3.0. Having to double the number of channels and due to the 100% call recordings, I'll go with a

It is not necessary to use an high performance drive. The bottleneck will be the processor, not the disk. A single disk can handle ten times the load of 200 ulaw channels. Leandro Il giorno 04/ago/2012 12:39, Shahid H shah...@gmail.com ha scritto: Would a SSD drive be enough or do I need like

Ahh I see. So I might as well get a normal sata disk? I thought I/O will be Bottleneck as well because 200 channels WAV recordings to disk at the same time. Which intel model 16 cores do you recommend? how about 12 cores? Thanks! On Sat, Aug 4, 2012 at 1:19 PM, Leandro Dardini

A single sata disk will be an unacceptable single point of failure. Get three disks and get in raid5 configuration. You'll gain in safety and speed. About the CPU model, I am a bit lazy, check the latest CPU released from intel or amd (I love amd cpu). Leandro Il giorno 04/ago/2012 14:30, Shahid

Instead of buying expensive disk.. I might setup a ramdisk (about 2GB) to do 200 calls recordings. Once the call hangup/completed it will then move recording file to SATA HDD. What do you think of this? On Sat, Aug 4, 2012 at 5:51 PM, Benny Amorsen benny+use...@amorsen.dkwrote: Leandro

Benny is right, if writes are smaller than the stripe size, there is no gain in speed in using raid5. Not only, but you can have lower performance than a single disk. The ramdisk can be a good idea, but if the load is somewhat constant, you end only moving the slow write ahead of time. 200 calls

What the minimum Server Specifications do I need to run 200 concurrent channels at the time with .WAV recording (MixMonitor)? It will be connected via VOIP sip account. Codec will be ulaw. Which UK dedicated server provider do you recommend and how much bandwidth do I need? Thanks --
