[Asterisk-Users] Thoughts on building a Voicemail only
Asteriskserver?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello List -<BR><BR>I've done some reading on voip-info regarding
hardware requirements for an Asterisk server; but I haven't been able to find
anyone doing what we plan to, so I am hoping you can assist.<BR><BR>We are
looking to provide a voice mail only Asterisk solution for approx. 100 homeless
people, a customer of ours is planning to provide the service. <BR><BR>The
Asterisk service will reside in our data center which will provide the
TDM->SIP GW so the Asterisk will receive all it's calls via SIP.<BR><BR>A
rough overview of what I think we will need:<BR><BR>- A non-redundant server
running Asterisk <BR>-- -- The Asterisk build will have a very simple dial
plan<BR>-- -- -- Two inbound DID's (one for checking vmail and one for leaving
voice mail for an extension)<BR>-- -- -- A management interface for the voice
mail boxes, so I will need to run Apache <BR><BR>- A disk array (either local
RAID or external NAS) to house the voice mail storage.<BR>-- -- The voice mail
system will allow 30MB of storage per user, so 30MBx100users=3GB<BR>-- -- I'd
like the 3GB of storage to be in either in the RAID or dumped onto an NFS or NAS
<BR><BR>Does anyone have any recommendations on a server that might fit the bill
above? <BR>Or experience running a similar application?<BR><BR>Just looking for
some thoughts on RAM, Processor speed, Disc etc...<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.
