[Freeswitch-users] Hardware for Freeswitch setup

[Guillermo Ruiz Camauer]

I would concentrate on the disk side of things with a good stripe or RAID
of SSDs.  Or, just add enough RAM (say 64GB) and make a large enough
tmpfs/RAMdisk partition to store your recordings before transcoding and
shipping them off to the storage server.  Just make sure to have UPS backed
power.
  Can the transcoding be done on the storage server (they usually have lots
of spare CPU cycles)?  Separate network adapters for VoIP and storage would
also be good.
I would go with a CPU with 4 cores.

Testing will always be the final answer.
