This section gives examples of suitable available servers from several manufacturers.
Sizes
For the following tables the definitions for the sizes are:
- Small: Small/remote sites (up to 100 calls).
Distributed deployments – servers without storage (RS, DS, RTS). - Medium: Medium size sites (up to 250 calls) – 2 servers.
Distributed deployments – higher processing power demands – DS. - Large: DB and Storage for Replay Servers.
The difference between the Large and Medium size servers is just disk space (and/or SAN/NAS).
