The more total cpus the better and the nicer the motherboard the better and a good amount of ram. FS makes big use of concurrency and SMP. On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 2:35 AM, Jeff Ullman <togullu@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi All,

I'm about to buy new server for IVR type application where I might bump up system to use up to 1000 channels to do play/record type IVR application though event socket interface, and minor database lookups. I have been looking around Wiki and other posts but don't see any specific recommendations yet.

I'm eyeing at following Dell spec :

PowerEdge R610 Dual processor Intel® Xeon® E5606 2.13GHz, 8M Cache 12GB Memory

WIll that be enough ? There are many questions - what's real bottleneck ? Is it CPU or memory or FreeSwitch can not utilize SMP, parallel execution etc.. ?

I greatly appreciate if anyone can share experience and recommend better solution.
