<div>I was wondering what the concusses is for building a server for asterisk, we are looking at installing it in about 7 locations (all within an hour of each other). I prefer Dell servers, but have seen there is some incompatibility with digium hardware. (
<a href="http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=compatibility">http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=compatibility</a>), anyone have any results using Dell servers? <br> <br>Also what are the opinions as far as redundancy, should I go full bore with dual power supplies, hardware raid, RHEL, etc? Looking at our existing phone system (nortel and norstar), they do not have redundant power supplies and the voicemail harddrive isn't raid'ed, would definately be cheaper to go with a regular PC and Fedora (and keep a spare one on the shelf), just curious what others have done.
