What are you guys using as a dedicated SBC these days?

[Lee Cramman]

I've been doing SBC upgrades and a few of those machines really need to be retired before they fail.

I'm not a fan of Raspberry Pi or router phones - but I need to find something suitable, and I'm just seeing a lot of generic rubbish when I look around to see what's available.

So as above - what do you guys use for a dedicated SBC these days? Bonus points if it's small enough to hang out in a rack or be rack mountable.

Our largest site is <50 end points and there's very little use of BLFs so our needs are fairly modest.

Thanks

edit: Debian SBC obvs.

This option is also available now: https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/fanvil-a710/

It works like a router phone, it just doesn't have the "phone" part and can handle traffic similar to a Pi.

It's PoE and small enough like a DECT base roughly.

That’s an interesting device.

I was going to say we’ve taken to preferring a VM if not using router phones.

Router phones are great, especially if all the phones are router phones, otherwise it's a VM like Steve said. Depends too, cos 9/10 for our set ups they have a server so if all else fails, it goes on the server.
