[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Hardware recomendation

[Zoa]

Yes,

transcoding is not going to work for that density.
asterisk doesn't do g723, and even if it would your system would not be 
able to handle more than 150 simultaneous g711 to g729/g723 transcodings.

If you would go for plain g711, you could do 500, but i don't recommend 
it, especially if you have little asterisk experience. (i'd say go for a 
cluster).
