MD Any of the Atom CPU systems will /easily/ handle 25 concurrent calls (and with a 25 extension system, 25 concurrent calls is very unlikely). I use the single core Atom 230 CPUs for systems of this size. Something to bear in mind is how the system will be used, max concurrent calls isn't really that great a performance factor, call arrival rates are more relevant, the CPU time is spent setting up and tearing down calls. Simply having calls in progress with no transcoding uses a tiny amount of CPU in comparison to the work involved setting up and routing a new call. cheers, Paul. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

This question comes up all the time - I've posted replies, others have, you can search the list archives or the voip-info wiki. I benchamrked a 500MHz VIA Geode processor to 85 calls without transcoding. A 1.6GHz Atom can handle 100's. (I use fanless Atom processors in my hosted servers. They're handling 100's of calls.)

Re: [asterisk-users] Dual Atom mobo - call capacity
Ditto I'm running a Supermicro Atom based dual core server and it's rock solid!!! These make excellent servers for Asterisk installation IMHO.

Re: [asterisk-users] Dual Atom mobo - call capacity
I don't know how it calculates it, but FreePBX shows a bar for total calls that looks like it maxes out at six. We haven't hit that on any installs of this device yet, but that seems pretty low for sure. I know with four calls in progress, all VoIP, transcoding G711u to G.729, the load of the machine is still around .3 . j On Thu, 10 Jun 2010, Michelle Dupuis wrote: I'm looking for a small formfactor mobo for an install that needs to handle 25 phone sets (no transcoding).
