Hello, I am looking for a hardware recommendation for a new OpenBSD based firewalls. So far I have been using IBM x336s, but they are slowly approaching end of life.
What I am after: * 1U i386/amd64 server, * 2 sockets, * RAID 1 SAS/SATA controller (2 hard drives are enough) * decent dual LAN onboard * at least one/preferably two PCI-X slots to add one dual/couple of single fibre network cards * IPMI 2.0 with out of band management I am pushed towards buying from one of the big vendors (IBM/Dell/HP/?) as one of the requirements is to have 24x7x4h or 24x7x8h support. Machines will be running pf, bgp, relayd (not necessarily all three on a single unit), should handle about 200Mbit of traffic (30K-50K pps). I tried IBM x3550 few years back, but the dumb raid controller was not supported then, not sure if it changed since. Thanks in advance, -- Marcin
