Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors
Not yet. A provider is offering me a rack CPU (1U) with Atom processor. Is an interesting option to put the EFW box on the rack, but this server only comes with Atom processor. So I'm not sure if this processor is capable to manage the system (for a 150 users LAN).

The thing is that I could have this CPU only if I buy it, that's why I was asking If someone had experience with this CPU.

Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors
Or, to help Andres with this question: Has anybody tried Endian 2.3 as a firewall with IPS for ~150 users on a lower end processor? (Old P3, Duron/Celeron? Something in the 1.5GHertz range, or slower. I suspect that the Endian on an Atom 1.6GHertz can handle the 150 users... The real question is if using IPS pushes the box to be sluggish for users going through the firewall. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District - Original Message - From: Andres Gonzalez [mailto:tuc...@gmail.com] To: efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:59:14 -0800 Subject: Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors The thing is that I could have this CPU only if I buy it, that's why I was asking If someone had experience with this CPU.

Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors
I have several efw 2.2 servers running out in the world, and you wouldn't want to run 2.2 on a P3, or a Duron. You can't compare a modern system with those old systems. Drive and memory bandwidth speeds were pretty horrible back then. One customer currently has a 1.5HGz Sempron 2200+ with 512Megs servicing 10 internal users, and three openvpn connections to servers located in other states, and a couple of road worriers, so about 18 to 20 users in all. However, to get it to run in that much ram, I had to turn off a few services like the content filer, IPS, and spam filters. I kept the AV scanners. There's another box that services 45 users, (internal and remote) has a gig of ram, and a dual core 2.3GHz amd cpu. The content filter is off on that one too, but because it's an oncology clinic and words like 'breast cancer' would prevent access to sites. This runs in a VM on citrix xenserver. The atom should be much faster at using ram and with r/w to the drives. But a power saving, single core, 1.6GHz cpu handling 150 users? I think it might be slow. A dual core atom, maybe. Anyone with 150 user systems? I'd like to hear your specs... -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors
We are currently running 2.3 on a single server servicing 1000 machines, and a few (4, maybe) OpenVPN users. We are using the content filter features of the Endian, but not the IPS. The Server hardware we are using is a SuperMicro 1U server with Dual-Quad-core Xeons running at 2.0 Gigahertz. 8 Gigs of ram, which is being reported at in 50% used by the web Dashboard. Load is anywhere from 0.5 to 1.0 during the day. It's been running beautifully. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District - Original Message - From: compdoc [mailto:comp...@hotrodpc.com] To: efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:25:51 -0800 Subject: Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors I have several efw 2.2 servers running out in the world, and you wouldn't want to run 2.2 on a P3, or a Duron.

Re: [Efw-user] EFW - Atom processors
Thank you all for your time !! The server that I'm talking is a SupraMicro ( http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015A-H.cfm?typ=H) but I think that only comes with Atom single core. I'll take a look if there is a way to buy it with Dual Atom, but if is not possible I think a Core 2 Duo CPU will work for the configuration that I need. I have about 15 EFW installations with Pentium D 1.8 Ghz, Pentium 4 2.x Ghz , Dual Xeon but with no more than 50 users. The only problem that I had was with a 15 users installation with a Pentium III CPU, the box was configured with content filter, AV, and openvpn features, and when there was high traffic to the Internet the CPU usage went to 100% (disabling CF feature fixed this issue, so change the CPU was the final solution). Thanks again. Regards, Andres But I think I'll probably for this installation (~ 150 users) On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 8:44 PM, Matthew W.
