Suggested Machine Specifications
For both virtual and real-world usage scenarios, especially those involving partial transcoding, we advise utilizing a system with a minimum of two CPU cores. For enhanced processing capabilities, we have assumed a CPU clock speed of 3.5 GHz.
Additionally, we strongly recommend employing SSDs (Solid State Drives), while discouraging the use of traditional spinning hard drives.
These specifications form the foundation for a robust and efficient environment to harness the full potential of anynode, regardless of your chosen deployment method.

Azure Machines
We recommend the B- and F-series. You can switch between the models later. B-series burstable VMs are sufficient in most cases. If your sessions are constantly busy all day, you should consider taking an F-series. The F-series are optimized VM sizes that have a high CPU-to-memory ratio. If you have a busy contact center and you need the entire number of concurrent calls all day, the F-series is suitable because it guarantees power consistently. Here, we recommend the F-Series with their Platinum 8370C 3.4-3.7 GHz processors. F-Series virtual machines are tailored for compute-intensive workloads. Discover additional Azure Series on the Virtual Machine series page.

AWS Machines
Consider our recommendation for t3.small. The T3 instance family is designed to provide a balance of compute, memory, and network resources suitable for a variety of general-purpose workloads. Pay attention to the "Vendor Recommended" label. Our recommendation is always pre-selected. When hovering over the various instance details with the mouse, you will receive additional information, such as CPU size.
CPU Selection
When striving to accommodate a substantial volume of simultaneous sessions on a system, selecting a CPU with a high clock speed is highly recommended. The session count correlates closely with the CPU clock rate. Moreover, doubling the quantity of CPU cores usually results in a roughly 50% boost in potential session capacity. Employing a system with over 16 CPU cores is generally not considered practical.
