Blueworx Voice Response Version 6.1 with DTNA can be used in any IBM system unit that uses the Power 4, Power 5, Power 6, or Power 7 processors and the AIX 7.1 or AIX 6.1 operating system, for example, IBM Bladecenter (with JS processors) or IBM System p system units.
Using DTNA, up to four Blueworx Voice Response LPARs are supported. An appropriate allocation of CPU, memory, storage and Ethernet resources must be assigned to each Blueworx Voice Response LPAR. As a guideline, a system performance rPerf of 20 can support a 480-channel Blueworx Voice Response LPAR running speech-enabled VoiceXML applications. See http://www.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/notices/rperf.html for further information on rPerf.
The use of secure SIP and secure RTP, increases the system performance requirements of Blueworx Voice Response by approximately 30%. As a guideline, a system performance rPerf of 26 can support a 480-channel secure SIP and secure RTP Blueworx Voice Response LPAR running speech-enabled VoiceXML applications.
