System and Server Requirements
Yeastar P-Series Software Edition can be deployed on physical server, virtual environment, and cloud environment. This topic describes the requirements for operating system and deployment environment.
Operating system requirement
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12.
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.
- If you choose to quickly deploy PBX from a cloud marketplace, or automatically install PBX from an ISO image without manual disk partitioning, you can only use Ubuntu system.
Supported servers and platforms
Yeastar P-Series Software Edition supports deployment on the following servers/platforms. Click the icons below for the detailed requirements of each server/platform.
Physical server requirement
The following tables show the minimum system requirements for a physical
server according to the extensions and concurrent calls that can be supported on the
PBX system.
Note: In the following table, EXT stands for
Extensions and CC stands for Concurrent
Calls.
For a small number of extensions or concurrent calls, you can install software PBX on a mini PC. See the table below for detailed system requirements:
| 1-19 EXT (1-4 CC) |
20-40 EXT (5-8 CC) |
41-69 EXT (9-16 CC) |
70-130 EXT (17-32 CC) |
