[Asterisk-Users] Case studies for 120 simultaneous calls on IVR
Hi, We?re going to build an IVR system with a TE405P and 4 E1. We?re sure that the 120 channels will be filled by 120 simultaneous calls during peak, so we want to have the good server to manage this. We wonder a lot of things and maybe you could help us. - Are you ever build a similar system ? - What hardware is the most adapted for this type of use ? - What is the most important ? (lot of memory ?, ultra speed CPU ?, Good disk ?) - Does linux use the advantage of Xeon processor ? so we must buy Xeon ? I looked in the wiki but I have not found case studies on this type of use. For the moment, the IVR will be managed by AGI and perl. Is there more efficient to use AGI and C ? Thanks for your support R?gis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(lot of memory ?, ultra speed CPU ?, Good > disk ?)I think disk usage is not that heavy. Look for a fast CPU und at least 1GB of ram. Don't try to run other applications on the system! ;-)> - Does linux use the advantage of Xeon processor ? so we must buy Xeon ?It does. Put I would prefer two single P4 boxes over one dual Xeon.> I looked in the wiki but I have not found case studies on this type of use.I will write something soon.> For the moment, the IVR will be managed by AGI and perl.

Put I would prefer two single P4 boxes over one dual Xeon.BTW, Asterisk does utilize a dual processor very well.
