[Asterisk-Users] hardware and network requirements

[Alyed Tzompa]

Have a customer running some 25-28 concurrents calls (with about 35 agents logged in)
without problems with a P4 2.X Ghz,  1GB RAM, I'm doing no transcoding btw.

One of our clients has a similar sized setup running on an Athlon64 2800+
(2.2Ghz I think), 1GB RAM, 2x80GB HDDs in RAID1.

You don't say how the calls are coming in, but I'd try and keep transcoding
to a minimum. if they're coming from a PRI (i.e. alaw or ulaw) and you want
to keep them that way down to the users, 25 concurrent calls @ 80kbps-ish is
only 2mbps, so even a 100mbps LAN is fine for the task.

Personally, I build our asterisk boxes rather than buying off-the-shelf
servers, but I doubt it makes much difference one way or t'other. Go with
whichever approach you feel most comfortable.
