<div>Thanks Matthew and every one who had replied to my post!<br><br>I
will install my Sangoma A400D card on my existing server and I will
give it a try, since we have the old PBX still working (its planned to
be on operation until the end of this year) it will serve as a lab, and
if there is much trouble we still have some time to order a new server
and migrate the configs made. In that case, I will buy a server with a
FSB1333 CPU. I don't know if we can afford a 3GHz CPU, but I'll keep it
in mind.
<br><br>I think for Asterisk a SATA RAID(1 or 5) will be enough, but I will buy SAS disc if it fits in the budget ...<br> </div>Thanks everyone!<br><span class="sg"><br>Raúl</span><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/15/07,

Raúl,<br><br>The short answer is yes, it's better to install Asterisk on a dedicated<br>system. The long answer is that you could probably get away with it,<br>but if you have problems you'll be dealing with a lot of variables
<br>during troubleshooting. When that time comes, I wouldn't be surprised<br>if the first piece of advice people give you is to offload the non-VoIP<br>related tasks from the server.<br><br>For 35 simultaneous calls, I'd recommend a dedicated server with a
3.0<br>GHz dual-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and fast SCSI disks. In my experience,<br>the FSB can be just as important as processor speed so keep that in mind<br>as you lay out your budget. You should be able to buy something from
<br>Dell with redundant power supplies (and other convenient features like a<br>remote access controller) for an affordable price.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Matthew Roth<br>InterMedia Marketing Solutions<br>Software Engineer and Systems Developer
