[Asterisk-Users] max asterisk load

Mon Jun 7 07:05:16 MST 2004

I'd do three separate 2 U Rackmounts, loaded with ASUS MB's with SATA raid
controllers, onboard nic and video
3.0 gig 800mHz FSB p4's
Slackware Linux, latest 2.4 kernel
1 gig ram 
2 120 gig sata drives each server, in raid 1
1 t100p each
1 TA750 connected to each box


YOU NEED REDUNDANCY WITH THAT MUCH POTENTIAL TRAFFIC


I'd do T100P's,
