RE: [Asterisk-Users] high-capacity systems / trouble with Tyan
You will always want a good over-capacity power supply for an AMD server(or any production server for that matter) I always buy nice heavy 500W+ power supplies for all of my servers whether they be AMD or Intel-based. For AMD I've used TTGI power supplies mostly and for Intel I usually use Antec. MATT--- -Original Message- From: Chris A.

Of course your single Intel CPU machine is a lot cheaper than a dual CPU AMD machine. That's like saying your Ford Tempo is a lot cheaper than a Lexus. If you look at AMD single-processor systems, you'll probably find that the AMD systems are a fair bit cheaper than the Intel - a much fairer comparison. > This is just my experience, I'm sure I am using Asterisk a little > differently than you, I don't have 3 Quad T1 cards in any of my machines, > but if that's what you're looking for, I'd suggest the PowerPC(Mac) > platform.

The AMD platforms excel at kicking an equivalent Intel platform around the machine room floor for many applications. We've been using AMD dual boards since the early days, and have consistently seen much better performance at a lower price than equivalent Intel gear. However, that's with FreeBSD... I am told that some Linux versions do not show off the AMD's powerhouse capabilities so well. The main thing I'd be concerned about is the use of a dual CPU system for something that is interrupt-sensitive. There's a lot of stuff going on in a SMP system which probably isn't going to be optimal for that task. You are probably better off buying a single motherboard and splurging on a fast CPU, at least for this application. ...

However, when you get an app for which interrupt timings are crucial, you'll notice boards that should have no problems, do. I got a system that cost $15,000 a few years back. It's a dual XEON 550 Intel board. You'd think it would do better than a lot of others. In truth it does very poorly with Asterisk. It cannot handle one single call without having a problem. (Since that it has problems with interrupt timing, it might actually work better if I remove one CPU ...) On a different note.

I know there are no simple answers to questions like this. But we'd like to find a platform that can support as many spans as possible. Any suggestions? Should we try dual Opteron? Dual Xeon? Anyone have a source for non-Tyan dual Athlon motherboards? Thanks... Jim, I am running Asterisk and Zaptel on a S2466-4NM with no problems. 1 gig Kingston ECC, 2200 MPs. No T1 boards, though... I really like their Xeon boards as well, but I haven't tried * on them yet. -- Kristian Kielhofner ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] high-capacity systems / trouble with Tyan
Hi. We're looking for a reliable platform to run 12 or more T1s in a single system. Very little or no transcoding. Mostly IVR and some conferencing. We have been been running 12 spans using Dual Athlon systems on an older Tyan motherboard and 1500 MP CPUs. This works for about 9 or 10 spans before trouble starts. We wanted to try the new AMD MP 2800 chips on the newer Tyan S2466 motherboard, but the systems hang or panic (with DMA errors) after starting the zaptel drivers. We tried putting the older slower CPUs on the new motherboard and had the same trouble. We've tried to find other Athlon MP motherboards, but no one seems to have any non-Tyan boards in stock. I know there are no simple answers to questions like this. But we'd like to find a platform that can support as many spans as possible. Any suggestions? Should we try dual Opteron? Dual Xeon? Anyone have a source for non-Tyan dual Athlon motherboards?
