NOTED
thanks for that -
i follow your opinion and choose XenServer, the XenCenter look great and has a nice GUI user friendly, but i remark that XenServer consume too much RAM, almost half of my RAM memory, in this case i will have only 1 GB RAM for guest (in my situation 2 guest) freePBX will get 500 MB and pfsense will get 500 MB, i don't think that it will be enough ??
-
Does all hypervisors consume such memory or only XenServer ???
-
Pretty much every Hypervisor is going to consume at least 2 GB of memory.
Without going out and searching for the minimum my self. But 2GB isn't really much at all.
Granted it is on your system though.
-
Any reason you can't increase the amount of RAM? The cost should be minimal.

sure i'm planning to do that, i will add another 2 GB, i hope the CPU work fine because there is no way to increase !

I'll 2nd that

@IT-ADMIN In my (limited) experience you run out of RAM (and HDD I/O) long before you run out of CPU

i hope so

Is this for personal use? If so I can understand using this setup, but for production, no way.
Though @scottalanmiller will say that even in home use this probably shouldn't be done, instead host these on services like DigitalOcean will provide better service, etc - granted the cost will be significant comparatively.
-
will be in production environment but in a very small office (4 computers), it is only a garage but do some administrative task, i want to connect them via vpn to our HQ and deploy 4 ip telephone
-
for this reason i don't want to power 2 machine 24/24 only to server 4 computers and 4 telephone, so i decided to host pfsense and freePBX in one machine (xenserver)
-
I'm lost.
So the goal is provide 4 computers and 4 phones with service (phone and internet).
Assuming you have a FreePBX system back at your main office, this is how I would do it.
I'd install an EdgeRouter (you pick the flavor), use that to VPN back to the central office, then hang the phones off your office PBX and call it a day.
I suppose you could install PFSense on the Vostro and use that as your firewall if you wanted, but why are you having a local FreePBX install? Are you planning on terminating SIP on the FreePBX install at the garage? If not, then you gain next to nothing having the FreePBX install be onsite.
-
well it is a long story hhh
for other offices (3 offices: 1 HQ and 2 branches), they have a CUCM hosted in our ISP, because the management still not relaying on me to do the whole telephony system for the group, because the telephony service is very crucial in our business (they have a small call center)
returning to the new opening garage, i plan to install freeBPX only to have an IVR and have the ability to call from outside 4 telephone with only one PSTN line, employee or costumer will dial the external phone number, the call will hit the freePBX then an IVR will be launch : if you want to call the manager press 1 ........
this is the utility of having a freePBX in the garage only to pay for one landline instead of paying 4 landline -
i mean these 4 ip phone in the garage will not be registered in our hosted IP PBX (for financial reason because we pay monthly for each extension) because the garage is considered something extra and not very important
-
so i have to manage myself to do the cheapest solution
-
and also one important thing the ISP force us to buy CISCO IP PHONE which quite expensive
because what i do in the garage i just buy only one ATA and take benefit of some analog phone that we have in the store hhhh -
How are you going to get analog phones talking to FreePBX? How are getting the POTS line into FreePBX? do you have a card that you will install into the FreePBX server, or a POTS to SIP gateway?
-
the great device linksys spa 3102, it convert analog signal into data signal
