<div dir="ltr"><br>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:<br>

<strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Deployment for large enterprise with more than 1,000 users (up to 5,000 or more): </span></strong>
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
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.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">/QUOTE</span><br><br>I suppose same conclusions with asterisk installations<br><br>1 4xT1 from digium will cost around 2200$x4= 8800$<br>
Audiocodes mediant 16xT1/E1 $<span class="price">26,699.99</span> <br>But in the case of asterisk multiserver, you need more T1 Quad card's if primary server's fails for fast switch.<br>I am passing the details like: forget about transcoding, ethernet redundancy, power protection.<br>
<br>I took prices from <a href="http://www.voipsupply.com/">http://www.voipsupply.com/</a> 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.<br>
<br>whatever soft you choose :one server is NO way to do, separate, optimise, count money ;)<br>also in case of asterisk: openser, heartbeat.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/8/1 Jerry Geis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:geisj@pagestation.com">geisj@pagestation.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Assuming you have a Quad core machine, at least 4 GIG ram,<br>
will a machine like this handle 4 Quad T1 cards?<br>
<br>
is that advisable?<br>
<br>
What about running AGI's on such a machine.<br>
Will the machine handle starting/stopping all those AGI's?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
