BBB is actually pretty awesome. It does have a lot of stuff going on underneath the hood besides FreeSWITCH. I would recommend a quad-core at an absolute minimum with at least 16GB RAM. (Hey RAM is cheap so stock up!) If you're going to be using the screen sharing stuff in BBB then beef up the CPU power - more cores and faster processors. The BBB guys can definitely give you more details, but this should get you going.

On a personal note I just want to say that after talking to the BBB guys and seeing what all they've done I am really impressed. They've glued together a lot of open source giblets to make a really cool product and they make it OSS to boot. (You can also get premium support, etc. if you need it.)

Have fun!

Many thanks for the kind words Michael.

Without FreeSWITCH, I don't think we'll have as great success as we have now. Voice is the most important component in real-time collaboration systems and it's one of the part we don't worry about as FS is solid.
Users can tolerate bad video (they just turn the webcam off) but if the audio hiccups, users start to complain. And being able to allow users to call in using the phone is a big plus.

Mimiko, we don't use FS for video but only for audio. For video, we use Red5. We'll most like be experimenting with it soon.

Yes, I know. I asked in case if someone here used it. And maybe used
other solution. :)
