pose some interesting questions. As a quick and dirty estimate if you<br>
assume one of the standard small ec2 instances could cope with 100<br>
simultaneous g711 calls (I don&#39;t know if that is the case just<br>
guessing) then you&#39;ll chew up approx. 2MB/s (you pay for bandwidth<br>
both ways). Assuming that you&#39;d then have 1MB/s average to account for<=
br>
quite and busy call times then it would be 3.6GB/hour or 86.4GB/day.<br>
At the Amazon price of $0.10/GB that&#39;s $8.64/day or $260/month. The<br>
server instance will cost you $72/month so total cost for 100/calls<br>
per month is $332.<br>
<br>
A typical dedicated server for $300/month is roughly equivalent to an<br>
ec2 small instance and comes with 500GB of bandwidth/month which is<br>
only a fifth of what&#39;s required but you could probably get the extra<br=
>
2TB/month thrown in for $32/month making the dedicated server and ec2<br>
prices the same.<br>
<br>
There are serious pros and cons between these approaches. With the ec2<br>
you don&#39;t get a permanent static IP, with a dedicated server you do.<br=
>
With ec2 you could scale up and down between 1 server and 4 servers at<br>
the drop of a hat to save costs and cope with peak and quite times,<br>
with dedicated servers you&#39;re stuff with 12 or 24 month contracts for<b=
r>
the number of servers you&#39;d need under maximum load. And then of<br>
course the major factor for both is what the call quality will be<br>
like.<br>
