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).
