System Requirements for PBXHub Server

To deploy PBXHub Server, you need to know the requirements of hardware, Ethernet port, and operating system.

Important: The private subnet of the server MUST be set to one of the following subnet options, otherwise the server installation would fail.
  • 10.0.0.0/8
  • 172.16.0.0/12 (excluding the 172.17.x.x and 172.19.x.x IP address ranges)
  • 192.168.0.0/16
Tip: We provide a server calculator to help you calculate the required server configurations for the entire deployment of Yeastar P-Series Cloud PBX. For more information, see Server Calculator.

Hardware requirement

The server used to host the PBXHub should meet the following minimum requirements, as listed in the following table, according to the number of PBXs that will be created in the PBXHub Server.

Each PBXHub Server can provide up to 200 Cloud PBX instances, you can scale up the number of PBXHub Servers according to the number of Cloud PBXs you need.
Note:
  • The CC in the following table means concurrent calls.
  • To support more than 100 Cloud PBX instances, the firmware of PBXHub server should be 85.15.0.70 or later.
Numbers of Created PBXs 0-20 21-50 51-100 100-200
Memory 16 GB 32 GB 64 GB 128 GB
CPU Frequency Minimum 2.5 GHz
vCPU (Thread) 0 - 20 CC 4 8 12 18
21 - 50 CC 6 10 14 20
51 - 200 CC 8 12 16 24
201 - 300 CC 10 14 18 28
301 - 400 CC 12 16 20 32
401 - 500 CC 16 18 24 36
Storage System Disk 200 GB 400 GB
Disk for Cloud PBX data 200 GB 200 GB (Expandable as needed)
Disk for Cloud PBX call recording file 200 GB 200 GB (Expandable as needed)
Disk Throughput

The minimum read/write throughput of the storage disks should be 150 MB/s.

Note: To adapt to the restructured CDR on Cloud PBX with firmware version 84.21.0.117 or later, a minimum read/write throughput of 500 MB/s is required for the PBX data disk.
Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

For deployments supporting 100–200 PBXs, the system can support up to 1,000 concurrent calls. Additional system resources are required for higher concurrent call volumes, as detailed in the table below.

Numbers of Created PBXs 100-200
Memory 192 GB
CPU Frequency Minimum 2.5 GHz
vCPU (Thread) 500 - 600 CC 38
600 - 700 CC 44
700 - 800 CC 48
800 - 900 CC 52
900 - 1000 CC 54
Storage System Disk 400 GB
Disk for Cloud PBX data 200 GB (Expandable as needed)
Disk for Cloud PBX call recording file 200 GB (Expandable as needed)
Disk Throughput

The minimum read/write throughput of the storage disks should be 150 MB/s.

Note: To adapt to the restructured CDR on Cloud PBX with firmware version 84.21.0.117 or later, a minimum read/write throughput of 500 MB/s is required for the PBX data disk.
Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

Operating system requirement

Item Requirement
Version Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - 64 bit
Note: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is also supported, but we recommend that you start with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, as 20.04 LTS is reaching the end of its standard five-year support window.
Language English
Important: The default operating system language MUST be set to English to ensure the proper operation of the server.

Ethernet port requirement

The PBXHub Server needs 1 Ethernet port.
