In the case that you do PRI (or BRI) to G729. How do you calculate this number (40-50) ? Or do you write this number down because of your own experience? I assume when using PRI - G.711, that machine could handle 'much' more?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] hardware and network requirements
i'm planning to migrate a callcenter to asterisk and VOIP, the call center can have up to 25 cuncurrents agents logged in. Can a normal server with 1 GB ram 100 GB HDD Pentium 4 3.6 Ghz CPU Ethernet 10/100/1000 One of our clients has a similar sized setup running on an Athlon64 2800+ (2.2Ghz I think), 1GB RAM, 2x80GB HDDs in RAID1. You don't say how the calls are coming in, but I'd try and keep transcoding to a minimum. if they're coming from a PRI (i.e. alaw or ulaw) and you want to keep them that way down to the users, 25 concurrent calls @ 80kbps-ish is only 2mbps, so even a 100mbps LAN is fine for the task. Personally, I build our asterisk boxes rather than buying off-the-shelf servers, but I doubt it makes much difference one way or t'other. Go with whichever approach you feel most comfortable.

Have a customer running some 25-28 concurrents calls (with about 35 agents logged in)without problems with a P4 2.X Ghz, 1GB RAM,I'm doing no transcoding btw.Alyed Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 04 16:59:29 2006Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net [69.16.138.164] by mail11.webcontrolcenter.com with SMTP;Sat, 4 Feb 2006 16:59:29 -0700 i'm planning to migrate a callcenter to asterisk and VOIP, the call center can have up to 25 cuncurrents agents logged in.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] hardware and network requirements
Hi, The usual bottleneck is cpu. i'm planning to migrate a callcenter to asterisk and VOIP, the call center can have up to 25 cuncurrents agents logged in. Ie. max 25 concurrent calls. I'll have some simplty IVR business logic and the some queues. Unknown number of concurrent calls (with prompts and hold-music). Can you provide an estimate on the maximum number of calls in queue ? The second major question is how are you going to recieve the calls ? VoIP (g.729, g.711, ???) PRI card on server ? Question three: I assume you're going to run voip for the agents. What codec are you going to use on the agent side ? (g.729, g.711, gsm) The real question is how much transcoding are you going to do ? Because that's where your clock-cycles are going to be spent. Can a normal server with Pentium 4 3.6 Ghz CPU ... do it. Most likely. It'll do 40-50 concurrent 711 to 729 transcodings.
