Jesse,

We have multiple installations of this scale and a few with far more
concurrent call paths (250+). In our experience, Asterisk scales
nicely to these levels as long as you are realistic about what you
expect of the server. For instance, we rarely, if ever, convert
signal to TDM. We instead use SIP dial tone from a tier-1 carrier.
Also, if you expect any substantial amount of meetme conferences, you
might want to consider running those on separate hardware. As the
numbers go up, you can peel-apart your switch into functional duties
such as two SIP switching servers, two voicemail servers, one
conferencing server, etc.

Just some ideas. Best of luck to you!

Assume relatively low call volume; let's say two public network PRIs
(47
DS0s).

Thank you very much for your reply ? extremely helpful. I received only one
other response to the question.

We would absolutely have to do TDM conversion, but we only need about two
DS1s, maybe a third or fourth some day in the future.

I will keep your name and may seek further information from you in the
future, Bryan.

Any other comments on the subject would be very, very much appreciated.
I?ve not seen much of any comments about the issue of scaling to the needs
of larger organizations for Asterisk.
