Recommended hardware

Main principle - as powerful as possible.

For 1 server solution we recommend:

• CPU Quad Xeon
• 4 Gb RAM
• as fast HDD as possible, RAID recommended, SDD (Solid State Drives recommended).
• Centos 5.2 as OS (x86_64 recommended)
  • Installation instructions

Such server should handle up to 300 calls without problems. Calls without reencoding.
