Small to medium businesses don’t often require a dedicated server, and that kind of investment purely for an IP PBX isn’t often a popular idea.
Creating an IP PBX Appliance using a Mini PC is an easy, cost effective way to run your IP PBX.
The setup process for an IP PBX Appliance is as easy as creating a bootable USB and running the installation. In no time at all, your office will have access to a full suite of unified communications features.

Leading IP PBX, 3CX are constantly testing different brands and models of Mini PCs for compatibility. As of writing this article, the tested and compatible Mini PCs are as follows:

MiniPCs are a great option for small to medium size businesses as they don’t break the bank, take up much space and use far less power than a desktop PC.
If you’re considering going down the IP PBX route but not sure what you would do with it – this could be a great option for you.
