Cluster Performace, Looking for advice
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2014 9:45 pm
I just made a small Cluster with the following specs:
This is me more seeking for advice then reporting an issue.
This setup is working almost perfect, everything seems to be running great, but we have seen some minor issues with Agents getting calls and Vicidial not detecting ¨LIVE CALL¨ and some times they get 2 call in the same conference, Some others when the agent transfer the Call to a Closer, more than one Closer get the same Calls. The process we are using for transfer is Agent to Ingroup Consultative, So, they pick the ingroup, they check consultative and press Dial with customer, after the Closer have the call they Leave 3 Way.
This is minimal, we are dialing about 22,000 Calls per day and around 7,000 answered calls. They reported me about 7 calls a day with this issues, so 7/7,000 is a ridiculous small rate, BUT we intend to get another 2 Telephony servers and a dedicated web server in order to increase our campaign up-to 100 Agents. And i want to be prepare.
Why this kind of problems is happening? Is it the lack of a real timer on the dialer? Is it the lack of caching memory on the raid controller?
Just to let you know, the server load is minimum, all servers are working below 1 (0.50 to be more accurate)
The agent stations are time synchronized with the server
I hope you can help with you fine comments as always, thank you very much
