[VoiceOps] Hardware transcoding solutions?

[Brooks Bridges]

I have no interest in building anything in-house for this.  I'm only interested in a properly supported and reliable commercial grade solution.

I know, and I'm truly sorry for that. I wish I could go into more details, it really is fascinating (at least to me!).

The hardware is generic and I don't see any reason FreeSWITCH/Asterisk/anything else couldn't achieve the same performance.
Hence my question: "Have you even tried?" I would have liked the OP to post some benchmarking results to start the discussion, but it looks as though he just assumed that software couldn't possibly attain his required performance level. If that is true, then providing a rough idea of what level of performance software can attain *is* indeed helping the OP.
