VICIdial call recording storage optimization

Originally published at vicistack.com . Follow us for more call center engineering content. Most vicidial call recording storage optimization advice on the internet is recycled content from people who've never run a dialer under load. We've tuned this across dozens of VICIdial deployments -- 10-seat shops and 400-seat operations. The bottlenecks are different at each scale, but the diagnostic approach is the same.
