[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH Question

[Brian Foster]

+1 here as well. 9000 calls is quite a bit, and at 90 cps that's going to
require some pretty serious DB usage. I'd be planning on database servers
to offload some of the work.

I also wouldn't risk 9000 calls if that server decides to fail. I know it's
FreeSWITCH, but the problems aren't limited to the software. Hardware
issues such as a bad HDD or a power failure are out of your control. As
humans, we're the weakest link. Plan for that too.

P.S.: Please use a more descriptive subject for your next thread. 99% of
the threads on the mailing list are FreeSWITCH questions :)
