I'm on the fence here and need some advice. I have a collection of LGA2011 v3 and v4 12C and 14C CPUs and DDR4 ECC ram in boxes. Some matched CPUs are even L (low powered) series.
Xen/ESXi host with pass-through of most devices to a domU.
OpenVPN, Suricata and other tools, DPI tools (not sure which), etc.
All logs and metrics will be pushed to a remote server, so nothing stored locally.
Right now, the L3 switch handles all 10 Gbps VLANs ACLs. However, I'd like to start monitoring this for one or two VLANs eventually. Which means, I'd need to route 10 Gbps on this same box (preferred) instead of the switch.
Thoughts?
- I want to build a home Linux server, and expand to threat detection, DPI, etc.
- I only have LGA2011 hardware.
- I am looking to buy a cheap 1U LGA1155 Xeon V3 though (and sell my LGA2011 gear).
