[Freeswitch-users] Transcoding G723

[Michael Giagnocavo]

Sure “Custom CPU” isn’t just a 4 socket Intel setup?

Hello guys,

Sorry it was my mistake, i re-read the entire proposal and it looks like their specialized 1U Hardware with custom CPU can handle close to 1500 simultaneous G729 encoding n transmission, also this hardware offers from any codec to any codec transcoding path.

Also this box easily works over

FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, RTPProxy, OpenSIPS  are their claims.

and their pricing are

First year £16,000
Second year £13,000/annum recurring

This is found slightly on higher side though,

$22K would buy quite a few machines with many core Xeons. I just don't see how it'd be effective at that price. Not to mention a yearly figure.

The only thing to take into consideration would be the G729 licenses. But in bulk, the price should be pretty effective, even figuring in hardware.

(Not to mention what things like Larrabee will mean for encoding -- 32 1.5GHz "Pentium 4 x64" cores, each with 4 threads?)

And... if you're running Asterisk, um, isn't 5000 channels a wee bit over what you can handle anyways? ;)

Hi,

I came across a company who was selling hardware which could do like
5000 G729 conversion simultanoeusly, I was like this sounds cool, they
have support for asterisk, I haven't enquirer yet how they do this,
but anyone wishes to buy it cost £15000/year for the hrdware + support

Any one on the list requires such high throughput calls can connect
with me so that we can really test if it can work with freeswitch.
