[asterisk-users] Asterisk in VMWare, how does it perform and what is the limit?

[Danny Nicholas]

It depends on processor capability, disk access time and bandwidth.  You
will need to dedicate slices of disk and bandwidth for each machine. A
"realworld" scenario of worst case would be this:
You get sucky throughput on VM2 because 3 or 4 folks are monitoring calls or
using voicemail on VM1.

Hi,
I'm coming up with ideas about building a cluster of asterisk servers,
and am exploring the virtualization option.
I'm curious to know some real-world data about how many extensions a
VMWare install on good hardware could support.
I've seen stories about how the hypervisor timeslicing can wreak havoc
on call quality at some point.
Is this really the case? If so, what's a feasible extension limit? 20? 50?
100?

Any information would be great.

Thanks.
