[Asterisk-Users] Dell server for asterisk question!

[Scott Stingel]

It would depend on how many conversations would be occurring at once, and
what type of codecs will be used.

There is a page on the Wiki which discusses maximum sizing:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+dimensioning

But it seems clear from the Wiki that 240 channels (8 E1's) is NOT likely to
work if lots of transcoding will occur.  So you need to consider your
architecture.

Thanks very much for your reply.
Well this system is going to work in HOTEL enviroment.
So still doual Xeon 2.8 Ghz for two TE405P is not enough ?
yes i could not find any information on Dell's site too. Even could not find
any sales' e-mail address :( So what do you suggest for HOTEL enviroment ?
Still I should use two separate asterisk servers for each card ?
