[asterisk-users] Hardware suggestions

[David fire]

i am very far away to be an expert
in my experience i prefer to use a cluster of normal computers instead of an
expensive one.
if one go down you can trhow it and buy a new one any where very fast.
using opensip and *Heartbeat* you you can have an failsafe system.
dive in the mailing list archive in February a very nice user sent an email
about how to do load balancing using opensip.
regards
David
