Hey guys, Im interested in hearing about servers (and thier hardware specs) that successfully run both asterisk and samba for an office of maybe about 12 extensions (SIP) and about 12 workstations. Im hopeing to not only replace a traditional PBXs with Asterisk/Linux but to provide a solution to needs such as a file serving, email serving, etc. Ive read the Success stories form voip-info.org but Im looking for a little more input on Askterisk Servers that host other network services as well. Thank you, Steve Maroney
I'm using 2 Dell Poweredge 2650 servers with a Wildcard TE410P in each and a custom linux installation. Works great and even picks up the dual xeons as quad processors.

Asterisk is a latency-sensitive application and serving files, web pages, etc. is just asking for trouble. Certainly it can be done but you're asking for weird and inconsistent little problems. It has nothing to do with the processor load; it has everything to do with I/O and interrupt latency. -A.
