Er, you're running a fax gateway, asterisk server, mysql db and a rails
web app/web server for 100 users all on the same server? That's some
seriously bad mojo for a production environment. Split that up into 3
different machines, quick! Give the DB a dedicate system, put the
telephony on its own system, and finally the web server on a third.
Conceptually you could virtualize the web server and db server, but it's
probably not worth it until you need hardware redundancy.

well, it's probably true,<BR>
but hylafax footprint seems to be very, very, small,<BR>
and * only makes automatic phone calls with no transcoding nor bridging<BR>
on no more than 4 channels at the same time, <BR>
(both * and HL are "features" of the application)<BR>
meaning that any of those two tasks could be performed by an old P IV with 256 ram,<BR>
probably giving the db its own self-tweaked system is a good way to go,<BR>
I'll have to learn how to benchmark each the loads independently,<BR>
<BR>
but I believe that what you said is a good thing,<BR>
virtualizing the web and db for redundancy, <BR>
and running * and hl on a separated machine,<BR>
makes a lot of sense,<BR>
<BR>
what a good layout for the db and we would be?<BR>
