Just a question on the SBC's, as they are handling voice as well, wouldn't 
there be a (possible) issue with VM.

Peter,
 
I like your plan.  I am not an expert (maybe because I have only been 
working with this for a month or so) yet, but…. What were you thinking to 
use as your SBC1 and SBC2?  Each of your other devices’ names hinted at 
(or explicitly said) sipXecs… but the SBC has me wondering.  Are you 
thinking to have 2 separate ITSP Gateway (SBC) sipXecs VM’s?
 
As you might have noticed from my last post a couple minutes ago, I want 
to do something very similar to yours… but… all of my users will be 
external. And… I have my servers geo-diverse. This may be a problem for 
me, but I could not find another solution  aside from sipXecs that claimed 
the ability to solve my problems.
 
Thanks!

Subject: [sipx-users] SIP Server Questions (Virtual vs Physical)
 
Hi all.
 
In further pursuing a ‘Production Rollout’ ready implementation of 
sipXecs, I had some final questions, mostly in regards to what can and 
cannot be Virtualized. Currently it is looking like anything that actually 
handles voice traffic (whether recorded messages or ongoing conversations) 
should remain physical due to timing constraints, but other Roles can be 
Virtualized. 
 
What I am loosely looking at then, in a server layout fashion, would be 
something along the lines of:
 
SIPX1 – Physical Server (Internal network) - Management/Primary SIP Router
SIPX2 – Physical Server (Internal Network) - Redundant SIP Router
SBC1 – Virtual Server (DMZ) - Primary ITSP Gateway (SBC)
SBC2 – Virtual Server (DMZ) - Redundant ITSP Gateway (SBC)
SIPCN1 – Physical Server (Internal Network) - Conferencing
SIPWM1 – Physical Server (Internal Network) - Voicemail
SIPX3 – Virtual Server (Internal Network) - ACD/Instant Messaging
 
Physical and Virtual Servers would all be 64bit, running a minimum of 8GB 
of RAM, the VM1 machine having extra storage space, and all with a good 
processors (well above the recommended listed in Michael’s book) and GB 
Ethernet. Virtual Machines would have slightly less power, but the Roles 
are slightly less power hungry anyway. In this instance, Remote Workers 
would be connected via VPN to our internal network, so Remote Worker 
traffic would act just like ‘inside user’ traffic.
 
Does the above seem like a plausible solution?
 
As a secondary necessity – in regards to load testing – what tools of 
those available (like WinSIP) would any of you recommend?
