I have 150 down 15 up with the possibility of 300 down in the near future.
Currently running my pfsense off of a Optiplex 990.
I have 2 objectives:
1) tidy things up and get it in my network rack.
2) reduce the db's in my dungeon
=> other related solutions to my noise issue may be a network cabinet, moving the cabinet to another room
I have a couple of startech 1u chassis on order:
I am thinking either passive cooling or some slow noctua fans for a slight breeze.
What I am not clear on is the wonderful world of intel cpus (what a mess).
AES-NI is a requirement on the chip.
Processor? -
so Atom, Celeron, I3, Xeon-D, AMD. There seems to be about 10 variations of each over over the last 8 years that might work.
So the question to someone who knows
What is the the best combination of cheap and low-power that will support 300 up/down plus AES-NI that I can configure to be essentially silent in a 1u aluminum box in my network rack?
Thanks,
R.
