Kind of trunks? (SIP/T1/E1)

If using SIP, what codec?

full recording of all calls?

Lines to agent ratio?

Kind of trunks (SIP)

codec g729

Full recording of all calls.

Lines to agent ratio 2.0

Because of the full recording of all calls and the G729 codec I would recommend using two separate servers. One for database and web(Intel core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM minimum) and one for Asterisk/VICIDIAL(Intel core 2 quad with 2GB RAM minimum). That should be able to handle what you are trying to do.

Matt,

Does using multi-core processor gives load balancing to call processing for Asterisk. I mean does call processing is equally distributed to every core ?

Thanks

I wouldn't say that multi-core has everything distributed exactly evenly, but it does help a lot to use a multi-core.

Okay, can you give an idea that how many simultenous calls can Core2 Duo OR Core2 Quad with 2GB or above RAM, can support with all recordings.

I just need a rough idea.

Thanks in advance.

With G729 I'm not sure, but with ULAW I have seen an inbound system handle 80 concurrent channels with full recording. I might cut that number in half to 40 for G729 in an outbound 2:1 ratio campaign.
