Hi there,I have to set-up a few low power SA boxes. Currently I'm used to using Intel Xeon 2.6Ghz with 16Gb of memory, but these proposed boxes are small. I won't buy one unless I know it can do the job. I know the figures below are tiny, but I don't know the Intel Atoms and what they can really do. # of active Email addresses (excluding Email aliases) : 80 # of messages (including rejected) appox 3,500 daily running : Debian/ SA 3.3.1 and spamass-milter (with MTA postfix, clamav-milter). hardware: http://soekris.eu/shop/net6501_en/ 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom E660 (1 core, 2 threads) 1024Mb RAM Transcend mSATA SSD 32Gb MLC
got a couple of similar setups for a handfull of small schools. I'd suggest Supermicro Atom 510 1.8GHz with 2 cores + IPMI like these: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/server-systems/1u-rack-server/1u-intel-single-cpu/1he-intel-atom-d525-single-cpu-cse502-server.html or 1.66GHz without IPMI http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/server-systems/1u-rack-server/1u-intel-single-cpu/cse502-server-atom-d510.html I have Intel 80GB SSDs in them - zero issues. I love these little boxes.
