Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am probably day dreaming again and this may not exist but if you have had
experience doing something like this, I'd really like to hear from you.
1- I am looking for fan-less hardware to support both Asterisk and Pfsense at
the same on the same box. The catch with this is that I would also like to put
in a Sangoma PCI or PCIe card in the box as well for backing up the Analogue
lines along with the SIP trunks.
2- I am not sure how the backup and Voicemail would happen if this box is to
only take a FLASH card. Maybe a better option would be a 2.5" SATA drive or I
can compromise that for an external USB drive but I really don't know if it's
feasible to run Asterisk smoothly on a box like this.
Requirements:
MUST:
-Small box size.
-Support at least one PCI or PCIe for a card size of A200D from Sangoma
(standard PCI/PCIe size card)
-4 10/100 or better yet 10/100/1000 NICs for dual WAN, load balancing, PPoE,
etc...
-VGA output
-AC adapter rather than internal power supply which may fail.
-Support for i386 structure - no surprises of driver support, asterisk, or
pfsense not support. This should be just like any regular i386 computer or i686.
-Support TWO 2.5" SATA drives (for RAID) - or maybe I can settle for 1 SATA
drive and backup to external USB or maybe support for two FLASH card (for RAID).
Not MUST but BONUS:
-Fanless chassis/board for quieter operations. There is no need for a high
performance video card on it.
-Wireless g/b/n would be amazing.
-KVM over IP - Some magical mini PCI card or maybe over serial? that gives the
ability to re-image the box in case of total software failure.
And no, I am NOT looking for a computer. But even if I were, I can't probably
find something that would support a PCIe card and be small format.
Do this exist?
Thanks,
Bruce
