[asterisk-biz] Maximum Load

[Henry L.Coleman]

The question of how do I estimate the number of concurrent calls in an
asterisk system is a bit like asking "How long is a piece of string?"
But start with the fastest meanest machine you can find.
For up to 50 concurrent calls this should be fine, any more than that and
I would look at using other machines to handle the database/voicemail part
of the system.The most I have heard of is 250 concurrent calls which in
business system approximates to about 1000 to 2000 extensions.
ie 4:1 to 8:1 depending on the organization.

Hope this helps
Henry
