New Server Setup

[megatech]

Can anyone help with some reconmendations for hardware spec on new server setup

 

Requirements

40 agents

16 analog trunk (somehow connected to T1 if possible)

1 SIP trunk via T1

will need axon plus call recorder/monitor plus auto attendant plus music

 

 

What operating system should Is use 2003 or 2008 server or xp pro

Is the box best placed outside the domain or inside a domain

is the box best behind a firewall or directly connected? (nothing else would be placed on the box if direct connection given)

Does it work ok in SBS environment? If yes, does it work on the domain or is it better on a seperate 2003 licence connected via domain or standalone server?

was also thinking of building virtual server platform with multiple servers on one big box - does axon etc work ok on a shared box?

 

thanks for any insights

ps. is there a way to chat directlty to sales techs
