<br>Hi all,<br><br>I will really appreciate if you can spend some time to share your experience or point me in right direction.<br>I have been told to prepare a single box Asterisk system (No Distributed architecture) for following features.<br>
<br>->Asterisk 1.8<br>->300 SIP extensions (sip.conf)<br>->8 port PRI card (E1) with h/w based echo cancellation<br>->All calls to be recorded<br>->IVR<br>->ACD (Real time Queue)<br>->240 concurrent calls in the worst case (DAHDI to SIP and/or SIP 2 DAHDI). <br>
->No transcoding <br>->Remote Database<br>->Recordings and logs are to be cleaned up/moved every other week.<br><br>I have gone through some documents for Asterisk dimensioning (<a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+dimensioning">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+dimensioning</a> , <br>
<a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware+recommendations">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware+recommendations</a>). Seeing the factsheet I plan to go for Quad core, 3+Ghz, 8GB RAM.<br>
I don't want you people to do a homework for me, but it would be a great help if you can have some suggestions based on your past experience before I procure the System and test it. Suggestions on specific brands for server are also welcome. <br>
I am very well aware of the consequences of 'single point of failure', but have no choice for the moment.<br><br>TYIA,<br>[SATISH]<br><br>
