Hi all, Can someone point me to some information on the type of hardware that might / should be used for a high load on an asterisk machine ? I know that this is dependant on what services you plan to have running, and it's relevant to what you plan to do. We are likely to be running 4 E1's, Voicemail, IVR menus, Music on Hold, Pay-Over-The-Phone, lots of interdepartmental calls and will probably have 60 channels from the E1's running concurrently, with the possibility of all 120 being used during high load periods. I'm trying to gauge what kind of hardware we might be looking at, and whether the system should be split across multiple servers, but I'm having a hard time finding anything solid.

Someone else mentioned this card earlier and it looks promising for a way to get your 4 E1s up and have DSP on the card. If I were provisioning today I would consider this one for sure though I am betting there is no real data available yet. ipVolution TDM120 http://voipstore.atacomm.com/shops/ViewItem.aspx/27934028032-38356249088 .htm Google This exactly: site:lists.digium.com hardware requirements call volume The first item on the list should put you in the right direction for issues of call volume.

Callum, Will you be having any VoIP phones connected to the system, or will it just be the E1s? If so, how many do you expect, how many calls do you expect, and what codecs will you be using?
