[asterisk-users] how many quad T1 cards

[Grygoriy Dobrovolskyy]

I am not about to change the camp here but sipx claim that they can do it
with external audiocodes gateways, i have no experience with sipx. Whatever
you choose you need a good redundancy here, also a cost in involved, lets
see:

Quote from their site:

*Deployment for large enterprise with more than 1,000 users (up to 5,000 or
more): *

With deployments larger than about 1,000 users the sipXecs system is
typically deployed in a distributed way where it's different components run
on dedicated hardware that is centrally managed by the sipXecs configuration
and management solution. Typical system partitioning would be as follows: 2
servers for redundant call control, 1 separate server for media services
like voicemail and auto-attendant. The configuration management system would
typically run on the same hardware as the media server or be installed on
dedicated hardware. In addition, if larger call center capabilities are
required, the ACD call center server that is part of sipXecs can also run on
dedicated hardware. Several ACD servers can be run in parallel where
different queues are assigned to different servers.
Distributed deployments where sipXecs components spread across several
server hardware currently need to be manually installed and configured.
Therefore, the installation process requires more technical skill and
familiarity with the sipXecs solution to succeed. We are working on creating
a cluster management system, where such deployments will become as easy as
simpler installations.

I suppose same conclusions with asterisk installations

1 4xT1 from digium will cost around 2200$x4= 8800$
Audiocodes mediant 16xT1/E1 $26,699.99
But in the case of asterisk multiserver, you need more T1 Quad card's if
primary server's fails for fast switch.
I am passing the details like: forget about transcoding, ethernet
redundancy, power protection.

I took prices from http://www.voipsupply.com/ and from digium site, not
working for any, just googled and found prices, they can vary from one to
another, also i choosed audiocodes as 'worth it's price' you got lot of
other choices/prices/brands.

whatever soft you choose :one server is NO way to do, separate, optimise,
count money ;)
also in case of asterisk: openser, heartbeat.
