Gents,

Thank you for the discussion I will try  to test on a box without virtualization. And  play with de Ethernet cards (intel ) to divide the traffic maybe some bonding of interfaces (interrupts stuff) etc..
I will let you know the results.



mvg,
Edwin

OpenVZ and XEN VPS'es are usually fine for quick prototyping and feature tests.
Also they would be fine for private PBXes with low call volumes.
For hundreds of simultaneous calls, it's probably cheaper to rent dedicated hardware servers.
On the other side, if you have some smart load balancing, probably you can build a scalable design with VPS'es and eventually migrate to physical servers when volumes  are high enough.

also for a calling card business, probably the most critical CPU resource would be needed for the IVR and real-time billing, but not for the calls themselves.


Thanks Anthony and Stanislav.

I think I have enough warning along with some encouraging words to build a strategy.

Thanks again., Now the search for the right IaaS provider begins.

I try to make the code work well on real boxes and if it works on
virtual ones then that's a bonus =D

We have good luck with openVZ since its a single real kernel and
virtual runtimes but either way we do not recommend it so its a use at
your own risk kind of thing.


Yup agree and acknowledge that you wouldn't endorse or offer to support it, and nor should you. Simply trying to pick your (and anyone else who wants to chime in) brain on the topic. Totally PoC'ing it at my own risk :)

So, in that spirit, just one last message about it. Just like sharing the experience with OpenVZ, let's just say that I am insane and I still want to try it in a private cloud. Would you say the resource consumption of FS (assuming it's just receiving the call, having it routed by a custom routing engine via ESL, and switching it) be more than that in the "real" world for the same call volume barring any clock sync/skew/jitter issues? Would something like Cloudstack on hardware (like the one you recommended earlier) with a FS VM with 12 vcpu cores, 24GB RAM and DAS be able to handle something like 300-400 concurrent calls or am I out of my mind?

Thx
