[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH in virtual environments

[Chad Phillips]

In my profitbricks/videoconference scenario, I've been going with 10GB
memory, and that's been fine. i might even be able to get away with less.
you can probably find the CPU specs on profitbricks website, or certainly
by contacting them, i don't know them offhand.
