Elliott,
I've had good experience with the SuperMicro PDSBM-LN2+, you can put
from a Celeron to a Xeon Quad Core on it, has 2 10/100/1000 nics. I have
3 of them in service with no issues what so ever, running win3K, Centos
(FreeSwitch) & BSD (pfSense).

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the feedback.
I was interested in running PBX-in-A-Flash distro with Freepbx 2.5.
They want a mini call center of 15 agents initially and then scale up in
a few months, potentially adding a second PRI.
You had suggested going with 2 servers, one used as a hot
standby...would you suggest something like a quad port redfone
fonebridge2? http://www.red-fone.com/fonebridge2.html
Recommendations on motherboards would be great.
Thanks,
Elliott

You don't need all that power.
Just a pair of mirrored drives is all you need for
redundancy. Asterisk doesn't impose nearly enough I/O load to
require an expensive drive array such as that.
And 40 users are very unlikely to use even 50% that PRI at
any one time.
That won't be a heavily-loaded system, even if everybody's on
the phone all the time.
You don't need to spend all that money on the server. A
core2duo has more than enough juice to do the job.
Why not buy two less expensive servers, and provision the 2nd
one as a hot standby? That'll give you much more redundancy
than just one beefy server, for probably less money.
CentOS 5.3 runs asterisk well, and Sangoma makes great cards.

Looking to build a production asterisk server for 40 sip phones and

Anyone willing share their experiences and any gotchas to look out
for, I am looking into Supermicro server with LSI raid
control 8204 in
a raid
5 configuration.
Any supermicro motherboard recommendation would be helpful.
OS of choice : Centos 5.2 or 5.3
Appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Elliott
