[asterisk-users] Asterisk on Xen or Dedicated

[Dee Lowndes]

Hi All,

    I am trying to decide weather to move my asterisk setup on to a Xen
setup or not. I do use transcoding, meetme and music on hold although in a
purely sip scenario real lines are handled via cisco kit. Currently its a
dedicated box with X100P card for timing handling it however it's starting
to get a bit long in the tooth and I want to replace it. I currently handle
up to 45 simultaneous calls but this will be doubling in the next year.

Question is do I still need to worry about timing and if so can this be
resolved in a Xen enviroment?

One other question is how does multi cpu's scale is it better to have a
highspeed dual core or a lower speed quad core?

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Dee
