[Asterisk-Users] server hardware

[Nir Simionovich - CTO]

Hi Joe,

 

  Well, as a practice, we use Intel board based servers in our company.
Small servers are usually based on Pentium 4
while bigger ones are based on XEON. In terms of compatibility, I've used
Torypine's, Buckner's, ClearWater and 
the latest VolcanoPeak boards, all exhibited nice performance and
compatibility. 

 

  PSU and the rest are just a matter of funds and how much our client is
willing to fork out.

I was wondering what the concusses is for building a server for asterisk, we
are looking at installing it in about 7 locations (all within an hour of
each other).  I prefer Dell servers, but have seen there is some
incompatibility with digium hardware. (
http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=compatibility), anyone have any results
using Dell servers?  
 
Also what are the opinions as far as redundancy, should I go full bore with
dual power supplies, hardware raid, RHEL, etc?  Looking at our existing
phone system (nortel and norstar), they do not have redundant power supplies
and the voicemail harddrive isn't raid'ed, would definately be cheaper to go
with a regular PC and Fedora (and keep a spare one on the shelf), just
curious what others have done.
