[asterisk-users] OT: DELL Platforms

[Joel Hill]

Hi, About 2 years ago we made the decision to ship exclusively Dell
servers. Mostly we have shipped the 860 rackmount with a config of a
basic dual core proc couple gig of RAM and a pair of 75GB HDDs in RAID
1. And they are great but we put a limit of about 30 concurrent calls
through it.
 That being said we have got larger installs too, we are running 2 of
the older 2950's as a fully redundant load balancing pair. For a call
center of around 160.

The only thing I would watch for is with the 860 the TE110p doesn't
work. The TE120p is fantastic no problems but the older card had some
incompatibility. Other than that I've never had one skip a beat, so I
hope you have the same luck.

Cheers,

Joel Hill
