Hi FS Users,<br>
<br>
What is the consensus about using virtualized servers for real-time voice (RTP)? Even up until a few years ago it was hard to guarantee the CPU cycles to the voice nodes.<br>
Virtualizing the signalling (SIP) has always been favourable in terms of HA.<br>
<br>
If the entire host is under control, is it safe to say - we can virtualise voice?<br>
Does it depend on what else is shared in the host - say it would be silly to put a high load database server on the same hardware node...<br>
<br>
Thanks for your inputs<br>
Chris<br>
