PBX Express and System Requirements

[JCubio]

Hi all,

When we use the PBX Express, what equivalent system requirements is created in the cloud provider?
Is it enough to use the system for production?

Please clarify me on this.
Thanks

Hello @JCubio !

I don't really get what you want to know. What is your provider ? And don't he proposes you different systems ?

Ho @JCubio

Just like when manually building a VM, you have the choice to pick what size of system to build. You can choose whatever machine sizes your cloud host provides. Take a look below:

We hosted it in Azure and we only just recently use Azure because of 3CX. so basically I'm newbie in both system.
And when I we use the pbxexpress to deploy 3CX in azure, all the components are created automatically.

Components are created automatically, BUT you have to select your machine type during the deployment:

Hi Guys,
Apparently our current 3CX that is deployed via pbxexpress has been deployed with Standard B1 (1vCPU and 0.5 memory)

Now I want to resize but I don't know the what's the right size to choose.

Can I have your suggestion for the right VM size in azure and what's the best series to choose.

Thanks.

	CPU	Memory	Azure Equivalent
Up to 16 sim calls	Intel® Core™ i3-3210 Processor (3M Cache, 3.20 GHz)	2 GB
Up to 64 sim calls	Intel® Core™ i3-3210 Processor (3M Cache, 3.20 GHz)	4 GB

So the beauty of the cloud is you are allowed to upgrade easily and quickly. So monitor your instance for performance and upgrade it incrementally as needed. You've told us very little about what production means (number of extensions, expected call volume, recording, transcription, transcoding, etc so the easiest thing to do use to use the system as-is until it becomes a problem or feel it is running too close to capacity (disk/memory/cpu) and then upgrade it to the next level. Rinse and repeat until you are happy with where it is at.
