<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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:</p>
<p><a href="http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/en/WF05a/15351-15351-3328412-241644-241475-1121486.html" target="_blank">http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/en/WF05a/15351-15351-3328412-241644-241475-1121486.html</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Questions:</p>
<p>1) Any reason why I shouldn't? (bad past experience with HP
hardware and Asterisk for example)</p>
<p>2) Should I go Quad core or Dual-core? I will certainly go
with two processors (to start, simply for redundancy). </p>
<p>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?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike</p>
