Hardware and Software Specifications

This page documents standard specifications for installing GAAP software.

Hardware

See below for standard server specifications for installation of the GAAP software.

The Voice User Interface (VUI) server supports the runtime application that serves customer calls. This number of servers and their specification should be dimensioned based on the number of concurrent calls, or ports, of IVR to be supported.

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) server provides the Control Centre application that is used to design, configure, deploy, and monitor callflows. Only one GUI server can be active at a time. The specification for this does not depend on the number of IVR ports.

Specification VUI < 100 Ports VUI 250 Ports VUI 500 Ports GUI server
CPU 1 quad core (2.2GHz+) 2 quad core (2.2GHz+) 2 quad core (3.0GHz+) 1 quad core (2.2GHz+)
Memory 8GB RAM 8GB RAM 12GB RAM 8GB RAM
Network 2x GB NIC 2x GB NIC 2x GB NIC 2x GB NIC
Disk Space 60GB 60GB 60GB 60GB

Virtualization

GAAP is fully supported on VMware ESXi 4 and above. If you prefer to deploy on virtual infrastructure, the following standard server specifications must be provisioned.

Specification VUI < 100 Ports VUI 250 Ports VUI 500 Ports GUI server
Physical CPU 1 quad core (2.2GHz+) 2 quad core (2.2GHz+) 2 quad core (3.0GHz+) 1 quad core (2.2GHz+)

Notes

  • Standard server specifications are for installation of the GAAP Voice User Interface (VUI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) components only on separate servers. It is assumed that the database will be located on its own server.
  • You must procure, supply and configure third-party software for functions such as as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS).
  • You can increase the number of available ports by increasing the number of servers.
  • High availability requires n*2 servers deployed across a minimum of two physical machines.
  • Disk space requirements are sized for the storage volume/drive on each server to be available for the installation of GAAP and associated files and folders. It does not include sizing for the operating system or other system software.

You must ensure the following components are installed on the servers outlined below before you install the GAAP software.
