Hey
Everyone,
We are in the works
of planning a new * installation for our company. We have 20 users in our
main office and 5 users in a remote office a couple of states away. Our
call volume for the main office will be anywhere from 5-10 concurrent
calls. The remote office will have about 3 heavy users with two users
making calls occasionally.
Right now we have an
existing PBX. We have a T-1/PRI coming into the main office and a DSL
connection at the remote office. We have a Cisco 2610/PIX 501 at the main
office a cheesy linksys router at the remote site.
We are planning on
purchasing new Cisco IP phones for everyone.
My main question is
this: What type of hardware/network design would be best for this
situation? Would a full T-1 at the remote site work with a VPN between the
offices? Or would a higher bandwidth DSL work with a VPN? Or should
we move to a Point-to-Point connection? What type of hardware would be
best for the end-to-end communication in regards to QoS? I know the PIX
501 doesn't support it.
Would it be best to
have two * servers in each office or for that call volume at the remote office
does it make sense? I was thinking of a Dell Power Edge server with 4GB of
ram and a dual processor.. is that enough?
Sorry for all the
questions!
