Hardware Requirements
From SIPfoundry sipx, The Open Source SIP PBX for Linux - Calivia
Introduction
sipXecs runs on standard Intel servers able to run the Linux operating system. There is no additional special hardware required. In particular, no special gateway cards are needed as all gateways are external.
Because of the distributed and multi-threaded architecture, sipXecs directly profits from dual / quad core CPUs.
| Important note: sipXecs is compiled as a 32-bit application and is only tested on 32-bit version of Linux. If you have 64-bit hardware install the 32-bit Linux OS (x86). A 64 bit version of sipXecs is in progress. |
Recommendation for a Production System
For a reasonably performing system we recommend the following configuration. This is a rough guide line for a production system. Media server performance profits from a dual / quad CPU system (dual / quad core CPUs) and lots of memory (1GB - 4GB).
- Pentium 4 or Xeon processor @ 1.8 GHz or higher (For a test system even a P III will work fine)
- Minimum of 512 MB of memory with sufficient swap space (2 GB RAM preferred)
- 18 GB to 36 GB disk recommended (dependent on required voicemail storage)
sipXecs supports an unlimited number of voicemail boxes, and the total number of hours of recorded messages is determined by the size of the harddisk. As a rule, for every minute of recorded messages you will need 1 MB of disk space (About 3 hours per 10 GB of disk space).
Minimum System
sipXecs is know to run on VIA C3 processors with as little as 512MB or RAM. sipXecs can be installed on significantly older HW provided there is enough system memory available (>512MB).
