Hello,
I've been asked to build a couple of Gateway servers for a client
w/ TE405P hardware, and have been looking around at various 1U options.
I've been looking at SuperMicro and Tyan barbones boxes as possible
platforms, but then was directed to Dell's SC1425 by a friend. Short
story, is that you can purchase a 2x3.0Ghz/1GigDDR400/1xSATA box in a 1U
form factor for $1,498.00. This seems almost too good to be true, so I'm
asking if anyone has had any experience with this box?
I'm not up on my PCI terminology, but as I understand it, the TE405P can
only be used in a 32 bit 33Mhz slot at 5.0 Volts. This SC1425 lists a
"1x 64-bit/1xxMHz PCI-X slot" under it's expandability
information. I'd
venture to guess this is probably NOT going to work with a TE405P.
That being said, if it works, great. If not, what 1U boxes are people
using IN PRODUCTION w/ TE405P cards?

I'm interested in the answer to this question as well, except that my project scope (and budget) are quite a bit lower than yours. I've always preferred buying Dell, but in this case, I think it may be overkill for this project. I'd really like to know what inexpensive rack-mount servers would work well with Digium hardware (TDM400 in my case). I'm basically looking at 2 TDM cards in one server, and 1 each in 2 others, connecting to PBXes at all sites, to be used for networking the 3 phone systems together into one dialplan. Nothing too fancy (yet). If this information is posted conspicuously somewhere, and I'm just missing it, please let me know :-) Brian Leyton IT Manager Commercial Petroleum Equipment> -----Original Message----- > From: Greg Boehnlein [mailto:damin@nacs.net] > Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 3:29 AM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge SC1425 w/ TE405P? > > Hello, > I've been asked to build a couple of Gateway servers > for a client w/ TE405P hardware, and have been looking around > at various 1U options. > I've been looking at SuperMicro and Tyan barbones boxes as > possible platforms, but then was directed to Dell's SC1425 by > a friend.

I have head that the SC prefixed Dells are not good to use with Digium hardware. Considering how picky my TE405P cards were in other low end Dell servers, I would suggest using an 1850 instead. OTOH, if it does work, please let me know :-) If you go to small biz, you can get the SC1425 trimmed down with dual 2.8hgzfor under $1k - Ben On 4/22/05, Greg Boehnlein <damin@nacs.net> wrote:> > Hello, > I've been asked to build a couple of Gateway servers for a client > w/ TE405P hardware, and have been looking around at various 1U options. > I've been looking at SuperMicro and Tyan barbones boxes as possible > platforms, but then was directed to Dell's SC1425 by a friend.

Along the same lines, is there some sort of capacity chart that maps capacity based on translations/transcoding? - Daniel On May 1, 2005, at 2:45 PM, Greg Boehnlein wrote:> On Sun, 1 May 2005, David John Walsh wrote: > >> what sort of level of PC is required for 300 concurrent calls? > > Doing what?
