[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Hardware Recommendation

[Daniel Salama]

Hi,

I've been reading on the wiki as well as on this list, different 
suggestions of what to look for when designing an asterisk server with 
a lot of traffic. By "a lot" of traffic, I mean a box with a a TE4XXP, 
that will be hit to full capacity (96 simultaneous calls). This box 
will also deliver these calls to SIP users and record all their 
conversations via Monitor.

I've heard that it's not necessarily a matter of memory (RAM) nor the 
need to have a multi-processor machine. But what really matters is that 
the motherboard (architecture) is designed to handle such a high amount 
of interrupts generated by the TE4XXP, the NIC, the storage array 
(whether it's SCSI or IDE or SATA).

Does anyone have experience with particular brands of either 
motherboards they recommend are capable to handle this or complete 
systems (e.g. Dell xxxx or whichever brands), that are ready for this?

Thanks,
Daniel
