[asterisk-users] Hardware suggestions

[Mike]

Hi,

 

I`m looking for reliable and redundant hardware for Asterisk.  I`ve been
leaning towards buying one of these (HP 360 G5 with everything as redundant
as possible), which I know will be good enough for a few months before
needing to upgrade:

Questions:

1) Any reason why I shouldn't? (bad past experience with HP hardware and
Asterisk for example)

2) Should I go Quad core or Dual-core?  I will certainly go with two
processors (to start, simply for redundancy).  

3) When installing the OS (CentOS is what I generally use) should I install
it 64 bits or 32 bits? (does it even matter for Asterisk?)

 

I will possibly be running a very little used Apache and FTP server.  The
only notable thing running with Asterisk will be MySQL for CDR and other
dialplan data.

 

Regards,

 

Mike
