Assuming you have a Quad core machine, at least 4 GIG ram, will a machine like this handle 4 Quad T1 cards? is that advisable? What about running AGI's on such a machine. Will the machine handle starting/stopping all those AGI's? Thanks, Jerry

Last I heard the PCI bus was nearly at capacity servicing just 3 quad-span cards (note that the PCI bus has other things to service, like hard drive accesses, network, keyboard, etc.). You'll probably do better with two machines, rather than trying to stack everything into one. -- Tilghman
2 or 3 cheaper gateway machines that have just the T1 cards in it, will do way better than one monstrous machine.

I am not about to change the camp here but sipx claim that they can do it with external audiocodes gateways, i have no experience with sipx. Whatever you choose you need a good redundancy here, also a cost in involved, lets see: Quote from their site: *Deployment for large enterprise with more than 1,000 users (up to 5,000 or more): * With deployments larger than about 1,000 users the sipXecs system is typically deployed in a distributed way where it's different components run on dedicated hardware that is centrally managed by the sipXecs configuration and management solution. Typical system partitioning would be as follows: 2 servers for redundant call control, 1 separate server for media services like voicemail and auto-attendant. The configuration management system would typically run on the same hardware as the media server or be installed on dedicated hardware. In addition, if larger call center capabilities are required, the ACD call center server that is part of sipXecs can also run on dedicated hardware. Several ACD servers can be run in parallel where different queues are assigned to different servers. Distributed deployments where sipXecs components spread across several server hardware currently need to be manually installed and configured. Therefore, the installation process requires more technical skill and familiarity with the sipXecs solution to succeed. We are working on creating a cluster management system, where such deployments will become as easy as simpler installations. /QUOTE I suppose same conclusions with asterisk installations 1 4xT1 from digium will cost around 2200$x4= 8800$ Audiocodes mediant 16xT1/E1 $26,699.99 But in the case of asterisk multiserver, you need more T1 Quad card's if primary server's fails for fast switch. I am passing the details like: forget about transcoding, ethernet redundancy, power protection. I took prices from http://www.voipsupply.com/ and from digium site, not working for any, just googled and found prices, they can vary from one to another, also i choosed audiocodes as 'worth it's price' you got lot of other choices/prices/brands. whatever soft you choose :one server is NO way to do, separate, optimise, count money ;) also in case of asterisk: openser, heartbeat. 2008/8/1 Jerry Geis <geisj at pagestation.com>> Assuming you have a Quad core machine, at least 4 GIG ram, > will a machine like this handle 4 Quad T1 cards? > > is that advisable? > > What about running AGI's on such a machine. > Will the machine handle starting/stopping all those AGI's? > > Thanks, > > Jerry > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona > Register Now: http://www.astricon.net > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
