I now have it running on a 1.8Ghz Intel Atom with 2GB RAM, and again CPU usage is negliable, and this is in a production environment of 10 handsets. This makes me confident that 3CX's implementation of a SIP Server/router is very well put together and designed. I expect 3CX will scale very well in the largest of deployments and am waiting for their landmark install, and in my view, 3CX will be the leading IP PBX on the market to beat. The PBX landscape is certainly changing - from a closed-door proprietary industry, 3CX is a huge threat, because they got a killer-app!

Are you running 3CX on actualy Windows Home Server OS? (i know it says that in the post but just to be sure we are talking about the same thing) Thanks for the feedback, this is useful!

Great job. The performance is also optimal for those considering to moving their installation to a hosted Virtual Private Server (VPS). The more cpu/memory your applications use the more you'll pay for a suitable VPS plan. VPS is a great option for a small company that needs the extra reliability (redundant internet, generator, etc) that a host provider can provide. A small tip when it comes to moving 3CX to a hosted environment. As you evaluate host providers you'll want to measure ping times from all your offices to the host provider. And ask the potential host provider to ping your VOIP/SIP provider from their location. Add the ping times (office/host + host/sip) to ascertain the impact on voice quality. Generally speaking you'll benefit from choosing a host provider that has facilities nearest to you. Btw, is V7.1.6591 the official 7.1 release or just another RC release? Your wiki - change log only goes up to 6589. I have 3CX running on a budget Windows Home Server and I couldn’t be more pleased with its performance characteristics. Great job.
