When building a PC-based telephony system, a crucial question to answer is what size host server is needed to handle X number of users on VoIP and PSTN
. Is it okay to buy a server that far exceeds your needs?
That question, and others, will be answered during a session titled “Does Size Matter? Building PC-Based Telephony System,” at Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO East (January 23-26, 2007 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida).
The session, scheduled for 9:00-9:45 on January 26, is presented by David Mandelstam, CEO and President of Sangoma (News - Alert). Mandelstam takes the stance that overbuying on server capacity is actually desirable.
Why should that be? Answer: PC computing power is cheap, and for a little more than $1,000 you can buy a powerful, multiprocessor machine. Server cost is overshadowed by other expenses (e.g. installation, configuration), so in most cases where a single, complex system is being deployed, bigger is definitely better.
ITEXPO attendees interested in learning more about telephony systems are encouraged to stop by Sangoma’s booth at the show, #1416. Even more information about the topic is available on the company’s TMCnet.com channel, Open Source PBX.
