CentOS - May 2011 - 1U firewall hardware

Hi List,

I am looking for 1U firewall hardware, any ideas? Something like that
(http://www.applianceshop.eu/index.php/firewalls/opnsense/opnsense-pfsense-ghz-19-appliance-1.html)
but at least with 5GBit nics and more memory.

Supermicro has an Atom D525 with dual onboard Intel Gigabit NICs and
PCI-E expansion slot.

You have your option of front or back IO case. Links are to the cases
with high efficiency power supply.

Just add memory, SSD, and 4 port Intel Gigabit NIC. I'm not sure the
performance of the Atom handling full 5 Gbps of traffic.

If you have some money to spend Vyatta has a nice appliance with 6
Gigabit interfaces.

You can use something like this Atom 525 dual core motherboard:

Or this Atom C550 dual core board:

With the AD3INLAN-G daughterboard:

This will give you 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports (2 on PCIe and 3 on PCI) and 
a free PCI slot on which you can put up to 4 more.
Of course it all depends on the needed concurrent traffic.

Does it have to be 1RU ?

These are excellent;
