3CX SBC Hardware

[Duff Man]

Hi,
So I have a couple of sites running SBC on a windows server, and a couple running SBC on a Raspberry Pi 2, all working ok.

I am wondering the best option for sites with more than 15 extensions.

I am not sure how many extensions is recommended for Raspberry Pi 2, as they are not fully supported yet, although working.

I have checked out some basic devices for instance Intel NUC, and other small form factor PC's.
I guess I could use a Intel NUC and install Debian and SBC, but not sure if anyone have tried this?

I do not really want to run windows on the SBC, I would prefer a unmanaged solution where you can set and forget.

Any thoughts on this, what do you use as SBC hardware?
Thanks

We don't use any on prem sbc's at all...no single point a failure to manage

I use them mainly for the internal calls not to consume traffic, but this isn't critical due to most clients having a fibre connection.

Main reason however is for CTI to work.

CTI works without the sbc as long as you are in out of office mode
