Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have a conference system that use ESL Outbound connection, users can access the conference by an IVR menu.</div><div>Today my conference receives about 50 simultaneous calls and this number is increasing. I want to develop a kind of architecture to receive a large amount of calls, but I don&#39;t know how.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is the possibilities:</div><div><ol><li>I have a Intel Xeon 3460 (2.8GHz) server. I can upgrade the machine and this will increase the number of calls. How many extra calls will the server support if I upgrade it? Is there any kind of statistics? </li>
<li>I can have a entrance server that will balance the calls in different machines, so I will transfer the calls to the correct server by the conference number. Conferences from 0 - 500 I send to <b>Server A</b> and conferences from 501 - 1000 send to <b>Server B</b>. The problem of this solution is the transfer operation - I suppose that it&#39;s an expensive action. </li>
</ol>Is there any other option?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>--</div><div>Samuel Macedo</div>
