[Freeswitch-users] Experience with FreeSWITCH on capable servers?

[Bote Man]

I can only provide very broad general advice, which is to use FreeSWITCH for its telephony excellence and use other systems to handle database lookups and call queuing and sequencing as well as log processing. In other words, don’t place the burden on FreeSWITCH of doing mundane administrative chores. This will probably mean using something like the XML curl facility in the dialplan, for example. Also, write the log records to a RAM drive and write a script to process them periodically.

 

Others will have better advice on specific limitations, which will be affected by whether it is a bare-metal machine or a virtual machine and so forth.

 

Here is an old wiki article that can be used to discover what issues to consider, even though the data contained in the table is old:

There might be other pages that provide guidance as well.

Hi all,

 

I'm working on a FreeSWITCH setup that places phone calls over a SIP line where we have a capacity of 3000 channels. What I'm not sure about yet is if this can be done on a single server or if we will need to run multiple servers in parallel. From what I've read FreeSWITCH parallelizes well.

 

Does anyone here have experience running FreeSWITCH on powerful servers and how far can you get with a single host?

 

I'm thinking about something like a Threadripper setup with 32 cores or so and let's say 64GB of RAM (but if we would need more that's probably possible as well).

 

Any other advice about hardware requirements for FreeSWITCH setups on high capacity systems would be welcome as well!

 

Thank you,

Sam
