asterisk users - Dec 2004 - drive space for voice mail

Drive space for voice mail

I've looked in the dimensioning information on voip-info.org but can't 
find any hard information on the amount of drive space the various codecs 
use. Since we would eventually like to support web-based voice mail 
retrieval, I'm thinking of the wav format. I've specced out 2x160GB
drives
in RAID-1 (software RAID via Linux) for the box. It will be supporting 30 
SIP phones with voice mail.

TIA!

Can you say 'overkill' ?  *smiles*

I just recorded a 2min voicemail and the resulting file on the server was
slightly over 200KB in size.
We are only storing 1 format of soundfiles, WAV49.

A 160GB drive is approx 1,677,721,160 KB.

At the rate above you would be able to store almost 28,000 hours of
voicemail messages.

Someone wanna check my math?

We are considering a replacement of a legacy PBX system (merlin).  I am
trying to figure out which phones would be best supported with the
fullest set of features.  Any recommendations?

Hi 

For desk phones I would suggest Grandstream allthough they
run at 10m/s so best to seperate the networks Voice and Data.

For exec/switchboard extentions go with the Cisco 7960 or Mitel 5220

Are you replacing a Merlin Legend (hybrid PBX/key system) or a Merlin 
4/10, 8/20 low end key system? You should be aware that in its current 
form, Asterisk does not support shared extensions something commonly 
used in most key environments.
