As my initial email said, we've been looking at the NetBorder box from you guys, but I want to see what other options (if any) are out there. Our current solution isn't very conducive to growth.

In our experience. The number of software trasncoding sessions on a decent size box (quad core xeon) is about 300 to 500 sessions. G729 to G711 RTP : Either SIP to SIP or SIP to TDM. If you need to transcode 5000 channels I would be looking at hw solution. You can go with SW solution but the cost of sw licences and servers and rack space becomes prohibitive. Assuming this is SIP/RTP application, you could look at major SBC vendors, including Sangoma Technologies. You can transcode 5000 sessions in as little as 2x1U SBC appliances that support HW trans-coding.

Our total requirement is > 5000 channels, however I'm more than willing to deploy multiple devices to reach this number as long as the power and space requirements aren't horribly restrictive.

One can easily transcode 5000 729<->711 channels in software on a generic 1U server. Have you even tried? Simon _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
