Hi!
I'm struggling trying to find a cost efficient 10G routing solution. I've been looking a lot in these forums
so hoping I can get some suggestions.
I want to run pfsense, either in a 1U-2U case or a small thin client.
Some basic requirements
- Should be able to handle 2x10G via PCI card (Like inte X520 DA2, which I have one spare)
- Should be able to push 10G speed
- OpenVPN performance should be ok right now I use a qotom i5 which can do around 40MB/s VPN
- Preferably not consume too much power (my current qotom box is drawing less than 20 W).
I've looked at the HP T730, but it's hard to find info of what it can do.
Some add 10G solarflare cards to this box, will the intel X520 work as well?
Will you actually get 10G throughput with this box (or is too weak?)
There are some Supermicro alternatives as well, are there other options?
The supermicro alternatives seems to be a bit overkill, I want to run the pfsense fw bare metal, I already have
a dedicated home server.
Thanks in advance, S
