[asterisk-users] Performance Asterisk large installation on Vmware/Xen
Hi I would like the opinion of you and if anyone has a similar scenario. I have a project for installation of a Asterisk server in a client with about 400 extensions. My question is whether this scenario carry an Asterisk virtualized. Will be used only extensions and trunks sip sip, 1 queue with 2 agents, without call recording. It is best to use XEN or VMware? Which best version of Asterisk for this scenario? Thank you.

Not recommended to run Asterisk on Virualization.

I would use xen. Be sure to allocate enough resources to the asterisk domU. (In this case, the fact that the bare iron is partitioned by xen is no different, from the point of view of asterisk's performance, than running it on an unpartioned box along with other services. The more one squeezes onto a given box the more everything suffers. But partitioning the hardware with something like xen does not automatically break stuff. Were the box doing ISDN, on the other hand, routing the pci card to the right partition can be an issue. But for 100% sip it should just work.) -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos at jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6

Assuming a recent XEON cpu and adequate RAM, main stumbling block is usually network performance so you need a machine with good ethernet chipset and linux driver. Also you will need to twick the dahdi timing source or strange things could start happening I've used KVM and XEN but presonaly i feel much more "comfortable" with KVM As for asterisk version i would recommend 1.8 which is LTS at this point.

Rafael nice day. Regarding the issue of virtualization I do not recommend running asterisk in virtualized system. As for the scenery, I now have this same scenario (260 extensions) and is working perfectly ... Of course all account eg My server is a Dell PowerEdge R310 and appliances are Grandstream GXP1405. The network is all Gigabit. As for the version I'm using 1.8.x LTS ( http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/certified-asterisk/certified-asterisk-1.8.15-current.tar.gz ) hugs ======================================Angelo Delphini Telecommunications Analyst "Desempenho e Seguran?a atrav?s de Solu??es em Dados, Voz e V?deo" E-mail: adelphini at camtecnologia.com.br Gtalk: adelphini at camtecnologia.com.br Skype: angelo.delphini T: 55 21 2260-0324 T: 55 11 4063-0986 T: 55 21 9541-4757 Telefone VoIP: 55 21 1701-3000 CAM Tecnologia Ltda www.camtecnologia.com.br *PT-BR: AVISO!

Which best version of Asterisk for this scenario? _____________________________________________________ Use XEN in paravirtualized mode: NOT hardware/full virtualized! Even when using specialized drivers, you get a considerable performance hit. When virtualizing Linux, hw-virtualization is an unneeded waste of cpu-cycles. Acceptable for windows clients, not otherwise.
