[Asterisk-Users] Can this config sustain 30 users?

I have this server I need to put to work. The option I have is to make it work as a small office PBX with SIP users and a Digium E1 Card for PSTN service. 24 SIP users and one E1 card in an Intel 945board (533 Front side bus) with 1GB DDR 533mhz of ram, one Pentium Dual Core 2.66 ghz (FSB 533MHZ

BJ, when you say it is more than adequate, what do you do to calculate? there *must* be a way to at least tell if the motherboardboard/cpu will achieve results. I just don't want to install it and then after a 5th user going to call someone the asterisk begin to crash due to lack of resuources.

Your server is more than enough for 24 SIP users. Depends a bit on usage patterns, though, you should be fine. Erick Perez wrote: I have this server I need to put to work. The option I have is to make it work as a small office PBX with SIP users and a Digium E1 Card for PSTN service. 24 SIP us

Well thanks all for your responses. My original intention was to address the mistic know-how about machine calculations, and I still feel the shadows remain. Why? Because to achieve a 24 user PBX-only/One E1, I was going to install a Dual Xeon with 2 GB of RAM and a 3ware card runing RAID-1 with

Hi Erick - Now This thread tells me that my dual core pentium d (a 700$ computer) will do the work. (the other equipment costs about 3500.00$). I do realize that i must minimize transcoding (ulaw all the way) but you're telling me it will work for 24 users (let's say 30 for round numbers) all wi

Don't forget to be sure your power supplies are reliable, and if necessary redundant.  Good point. I'm a Tier 1 server bigot, myself, although I have done rollouts in a clone 4U with *freakin good* redundant PSU's. Nuthin beats Tier 1 redundant goodness...  __

Hi Erick - So at the end, i cannot provide prices (without being overkill) to a potential customer without spending money on a system prior to quote and test it. You can always do what you just did and ask on the list. I think the real reason there is no "table" or chart for hardware specs is
