Hi Alan, some time ago I've had a look at them.
Supermicro still seem to have 1U Twin-Server in their List. Unfortunately I can't say anything about running them - they are still on my "wishlist". On the other hand - does anybody know alternatives ? Just in case of not ending up in some kind of vendor-lock-in issue. For "weaker" hardware I've allready tested the APU-Boards in a 1U Dual-Box. I was able to push ~750 Mbps through them with pf enabled (just the default rules) Workstation ---> APU 1 ---> APU 2 just with a simple iperf test. Also when using ipsec in this test-setup, iperf was able to push ~60Mbps through the tunnel (ase-128).
