Degradation Functionality Asterisk

General Help
1

Hello.
We have a FreePBX Distro. Centos install on VMWare 6. At more than 150 simultaneous calls are seeing a problem with Asterisk. Calls for a long time are processed, do not always have the sound, the audio channel is connected through 6-10 seconds, AMI brakes. Some сalls was dropped.

We have a call centre with call recording.

We have:

150 simultaneous calls is a lot for a VM even if everything is g711.
Are you doing any transcoding? Recording all 150 simultaneous calls is probably not helping either.

Try increasing the RAM. As far as I know you need about 1gb for math, and 64mb for every concurrent call in previous versions of Asterisk. That means on a 8Gb server you could expect ~110 concurrent calls assuming there are no other limiting factors.

Hello.
We don`t use transcoding. All calls goes with g711, but we use “canrenivite (directmedia) = no”.

We recording about 100 simultaneous calls.
