[asterisk-users] Dell Server suggestion

[Sascha Ferley]

Hi, 

I am in need of ordering a new server here for our asterisk solution. Since
the corporate standard is Dell we need to stick to a dell server. We used to
deploy 2900III without any issues, however now they are almost not available
any more and are looking at a new solution.
Has anyone tried any of the new Dell R (series) servers with Asterisk,
utilizing Digium PRI cards?

The biggest issue I can see is that in the future we may want to get a
transcoder card, however none of the new servers have a standard PCI slot
available any more as with the new Nathelem chips having gotten rid of the
basic bridge I guess.


Any suggestions?

Thanks

S.
