I actually witnessed his demonstration at cluecon where that happened...

and I have personally demonstrated 2500 concurrent media playback calls
running FreeSWITCH on a Dell SC420 playing a sound file from ram drive...
so i know its possible to reach much higher density on newer hardware....

The problem with Stratus would be not only are they very expensive, but
their configurations tend to not be the highest end CPUs/RAM configs
without a Fortune500 size budget...
