Yup got that, and are you saying the same is applicable and true even if one was to try and run FreeSWITCH on a private cloud or in a virtual environment? assuming of course that those tips would then apply to the machine on which the Hypervisor will run. 

Just trying to get a handle on whether running FreeSWITCH to do something like wholesale or calling card traffic in a purely virtual environment is / has proven to work. You probably know the most in terms of all different environments people are running FS in, and if you (or they) have pointers specific to it being run in a virtual environment.

Thanks so much

Motherboard is the most important, a cheap motherboard with a ton of
cores is a waste.
