[asterisk-users] Running Asterisk on VMware ESX

[Mitul Limbani]

For 150 phones I would suggest you dedicate a machine, mebbe a Core 2 Duo.

Voice quality on virtualized platforms is troublesome, hence not
recommended for production usage.

Home usage for less then 2-5 phones it works perfectly fine in virtualized
env.
