Dear All, I am resurrecting this thread which I followed carefully because I need some hardware advice for the firewall machine which is going to serve our new scientific computing laboratory. Initially behind this firewall, we will have only two small (16 and 8 nodes) clusters, a GPU based super computer, a CVS/File server and a web-server for PMWiki. They will be accessible to users (15-20 for now) only via SSH(NX X) and HTTP protocols.
We are vendor locked due to the contract between DeLL and the University system of Georgia. I would like to hear opinion about: Dell PowerEdge R210 II Ultra-compact Rack Server http://www.dell.com/us/enterprise/p/poweredge-r210-2/pd I am looking at the one with Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Adapter, Gigabit Ethernet NIC, PCIe x4 Does One Dual port Broadcom BCM 5716 work on OpenBSD? What about those Broadcom NetXtremes ? It is not going to have RAID controller. We are looking at the one with Dual-core Intel Celeron G400 and G500 series Thank you so much! Predrag
