Various feed providers over time have provided information about the systems they use to run SDRTrunk, Trunking Recorder, RDIO Scanner, and things like that -- usually for the purpose of providing Broadcastify normal feeds and BCFY Calls feeds. I'm wondering if some of the providers with higher-end setups would post what they are using.
A lot of us (including me) are using low-end, repurposed, budget computers -- full desktops, laptops, SBCs, thin clients - Celeron processors 10+ years old, etc. I'm not interested in the weak sauce. I'd like to hear from some of the people who are monitoring multiple large systems, are providing BCFY Feeds and/or Calls, including machine specs, types and numbers of SDR devices, PCI USB cards or USB hubs that are reliable, etc. The guys and gals doing this are also likely running some other softwares to archive the audio content locally on their machines and provide access to themselves and may also be using their setups to aggregate feeds and calls in RDIO scanner from remote locations / other users.
Any volunteers? I'm sure there are some users operating some pretty expensive / high-end hardware. If there is anyone running one of the Intel NUC devices from places like GEEKOM or from Intel directly, I'd be interested in your thoughts about heat dissipation issues and things like that. Those NUCs are nice, but unless you spec them out with the highest speed DRAM and quality stuff, they really end up not benchmarking out the way one would expect/want them to for the price -- and they have to generate some heat if they are significantly used.
