[asterisk-users] how many quad T1 cards

2009-01-08 Thread Scott Plante
Jerry, back in August you were thinking about putting 4 T1 cards in a single box--did you end up doing that and how did it work out? We're looking at 700-800 lines for an app and are trying to figure out how many machines we'll need. Has anyone else done more than 2 quad T1 cards? -- Scott Pl

Assuming you have a Quad core machine, at least 4 GIG ram, will a machine like this handle 4 Quad T1 cards? is that advisable? What about running AGI's on such a machine. Will the machine handle starting/stopping all those AGI's? Thanks, Jerry ___ --

700-800 is the maximum limit without transcoding on very optimized setup. I would call it suicide without a failover solution. Why dont you consider the dns srv for load balancing among 2 servers ? 2009/1/8 Scott Plante > Jerry, back in August you were thinking about putting 4 T1 cards in a > si

I'm pretty sure he was asking about a minimum of two boxes. 4 quad T1 cards would only be 16 x 24 = 384 lines. I agree to a point though - if you have a service that is utilizing close to 800 lines and half of your service suddenly bites the dust you would probably be in a world of hurt. I t

Isn't anyone using this kind of thing http://www.red-fone.com/ for this kind of massive HA deployment ? there is a case study on their web site using 4 asterisk boxes and 8 red-fone T1 to Ethernet bridges to handle 900 concurrent calls. (I would say that using all this nice hardware on Linksys ne

what about realtime and dundi? one asterisk for register and then many for the T1 cards you use dundi to route the calls if one server fail the system will repleace it... and a the dual core are cheap now so it is not a big issue buy 4 or five. David 2009/1/9 Benoit > > Isn't anyone using this k

If you had a dax in front of all your circuits, you could move them from one server to another without physically touching anything. I've done about 300 calls on a dual processor box doing just SIP with an entirely AGI based setup and it held up just fine, but doing TDM, I'd worry about you

2 or 3 cheaper gateway machines that have just the T1 cards in it, will do way better than one monstrous machine. On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 2:20 PM, Jerry Geis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Assuming you have a Quad core machine, at least 4 GIG ram, > will a machine like this handle 4 Quad T1 cards? >
