asterisk users - Jan 2009 - server sizing for ~ 200 simultaneous call

Hi to all

i'm planning the migration of a company on Asterisk, i have planned
this scenario:

2 server with
* 4 GB RAM
* 2 CPU 64 bit dual core
* RAID 1
* 2 network interfaces 1000 Mbit/s

Each server will have a virtual interface that will be switched from
one to the other in case of hardware problem.

The question is: can one server with those settings manage up to 200
simultaneous call?

The server will receive SIP calls and forward them through a CISCO router.

Thanks to all

It depends what the dialplan does with these 200 calls. If the asterisk
transcodes, has conference rooms and ivr features as well as call
recording, than it might not be sufficient. For simpler cases it should.

If you use reinvites (the peers are all internal, right?), definitely.

Without reinvites - maybe.
