  • 1.  Wanted: FreeSWITCH virtualization recommendations

    Posted Mar 08, 2012 04:35 PM

    All input welcome.

    I know this is constantly hashed out on whether virtualizing VoIP is prudent.  Here is our proposed environment:

    vSphere 5 Cluster

    Hosts:  Dell R710's, 96GB RAM, 2xQuad core Processors

    Storage:  EMC VNXe 3300, performance pools

    VoIP:  FreeSwitch 1.0.6, CentOS 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5

    What are the best optimization settings in the host and gust to gain the best possible outcomes for a performance test in comparing an existing physical node to a candidate virtualized node?

    Memory, processor affinity, shares, etc....

    I see much about the 1khz timer and adding it to the kernel.  What process is preferred in achieving this?

    Again, I welcome all input.

    Thank you,

    Brian

    I'm sorry, but that whitepaper provided no technical information. (Unless I missed it in all the marketing speek, please point it out).
