Phone Service Web Server Requirements

[elhughes]

Does anyone know if there is a minimum spec for a web server to run IP Phone services.

A client is asking for specifics, and I can't find info on any data sheets.

Will a standard desktop PC suffice?

Many thanks

I am not aware of any specific spec sheet for phone services.

The requirements taken from the IP Phone SDK version 3.3(4) are:

* Microsoft IIS 4.0 or later (for ASP sample services)

*Sun J2SE 1.3 or later and Tomcat 4.0 or later (for JSP sample services)

*Internet Connection to external websites like Yahoo.com, Cnn.com etc.

*Cisco Call Manager 3.3(4) or later, or 4.0(2) or later.

*Cisco 7940/7960 or other XML services-enabled IP Phone

Just think of a web service as a web application being requested by IP Phones, and provision your web server appropriately.
