Are there any specs available which describe how to size hardware for a SEMS conference server? We’d like to offer webconference, echo & announcement services. It would helpful to get some idea of how many simultaneous conferences can exist and how many endpoints per conference with a specific processor, number of processors, memory and disk storage. For discussion purposes assume we are using G.711.
from the README:
 SEMS shows very good performance on current standard
 PC architecture based server systems. It has sucessfully
 been run with 1200 G.711 conference channels on a quad-core
 Intel(R) Xeon at 2GHz (700 GSM, 280 iLBC channels). On the
 other hand it also runs on very small devices - for example
 small embedded systems like routers running OpenWRT, for which
 of course the achievable channel count is not that high.

But with better NIC you can for sure get more out of it. I am not sure whether on the above test it saturated the network.

For more processing intensive codecs (gsm, ilbc, speex) the CPU is the limiting factor. Also try setting media_processor_threads on multi core machines. Disk is not relevant; if it's not too many, announcemnent files will quickly be cached anyway (or use cache_announce).
