General requirements 51The number of users the OCS Proxy server with MCM can handle dependson the usage and the number of calls per hour per user. For example,assuming 5 cph/user for VoIP calls would give 3000 users (15 000 cph/5cph/user = 3000 users).The following are the formulas (based on SPECint_rate2000) to calculatethe maximum call rate for different platforms:• VoIP calls only. Number of calls per hour supported = (15 000 x SPECintof HW) / 29.8.• SIP CTI (TR/87) RCC calls only. Number of calls per hour supported =(10000 x SPECint of HW) / 29.8.• Both VoIP and SIP CTI (TR/87) RCC calls combined. Number of callsper hour supported = [(15 000 x SPECint of HW) x (VoIP_call%) + (10000 x SPECint of HW) x (SIPCTI_call%)]/ 29.8.ATTENTIONVoIP_call% or SIPCTI_call% must be less then 100%.ATTENTIONAn OCS Proxy is not an Access Proxy.
