📊 VOS3000 Capacity Planning and Server Sizing
Proper capacity planning ensures your VOS3000 call center solution can handle peak traffic without degradation. The primary factors affecting capacity are concurrent call volume, codec selection, recording requirements, and database transaction rates. VOS3000 provides flexibility in scaling by allowing database servers to be separated from the signaling servers, enabling horizontal scaling for high-volume deployments.
Concurrent Call Capacity by Server Size (VOS3000 Call Center Solution)
| RAM | CPU | Concurrent Calls (G.711) | Concurrent Calls (G.729) | CPS (Calls/Second) | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 GB | 2 Cores | 50-100 | 100-200 | 10-15 | $20-30 |
| 4 GB | 4 Cores | 200-300 | 400-600 | 30-50 | $40-60 |
| 8 GB | 8 Cores | 500-800 | 1000-1500 | 80-120 | $80-120 |
| 16 GB | 16 Cores | 1000-2000 | 2000-4000 | 150-250 | $150-250 |
| 32 GB | 32 Cores | 2000-4000 | 4000-8000 | 300-500 | $300-500 |
✅ Codec Impact on Capacity: G.729 codec uses approximately 30% of the bandwidth and CPU resources compared to G.711 (ulaw/alaw). For maximum capacity, configure G.729 passthrough mode in VOS3000. However, ensure your carriers support G.729 and you have appropriate license counts if transcoding is required.
Database Server Considerations (VOS3000 Call Center Solution)
The MySQL database is critical for VOS3000 operation, storing all CDRs, configuration data, and real-time session information. For high-traffic deployments, separating the database server from the softswitch allows independent scaling and improves reliability. The database server should have fast SSD storage and sufficient RAM for MySQL buffer pools, which directly impacts query performance for billing and reporting operations.
- CDR Storage: Each call generates CDR records; plan for 100-200 bytes per call for storage sizing
- Index Optimization: Regular index maintenance improves query performance for large CDR tables
- Backup Strategy: Implement daily backups with point-in-time recovery capability
- Replication: Consider MySQL replication for high availability and read scaling
