Our company will get a dual core dual cpu opteron with 2gb ram on a Tyan Board. The goal is to try to achieve a doing 400 channels ulaw at the same time while recording the calls.
The setup is this: 200 sip phones-----------asteriskx86_64-------internet-----sip terminator ulaw since it's a call center we will employ either app_meetme or app_conference to link the calls. The machine can be installed with centos 4.3 or Solaris 10 to do the test. there is a X100P that can be used in the Centos4.3 but Solaris does not have zaptel drivers yet (or do they??) It may be a little optimistic but trying is the only way to get results. On 6/4/06, Joseph Benden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I have Asterisk running on Solaris 10 on both Sparc and AMD. The performance of the system is greater on Solaris compared with Linux, due to many factors. The most gains are received when using mtmalloc library. Here's a link to a report I've done. However, do keep in mind that the numbers mean nothing about _real_ call concurrency amounts, but rather serve to show the difference in performance of the two operating systems. However, the numbers do show that you can do more on Solaris than Linux. The actual real world number of concurrent calls is totally dependent on what the VoIP operator is trying to accomplish (ie: echo cancel, codecs, transcoding, etc.) The biggest downside to Solaris is the lack of a kernel driver for Zaptel hardware. However; this is something I'd like to work on. http://www.thrallingpenguin.com/articles/asterisk-solaris.htm -Joe Thralling Penguin LLC On Sun, 2006-06-04 at 21:02 +0200, Tomer Horn wrote: I'm curious if anyone is running Asterisk on Sun Fire T2000 or similar UltraSPARC T1 servers.

I don't have any first-hand experience, as we don't do performance benchmarking like that. In any case, the amount of memory will make no difference at all. The clock speed of the CPUs and the speed of the memory bus will be the determining factors, so realistically I would expect the Opterons to perform better than P4s due to their much more efficient memory subsystem. However, I can say that I doubt any existing PC-type platform will be able to achieve 250 or 300 simultaneous G.729 transcodes; any single box that could handle that would cost far more than a pair of lower-performance systems to do the same thing (think scaling horizontally, not vertically). In addition, when Digium releases the hardware G.729 transcoder board in the near future this will become less of an issue for deployments of that size. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
