Hi,

I maybe able to get a quantity of Sun X4100 servers cheap (AMD Opteron 275, 2 x dual 2.2GHz with 8GB) and was thinking of the viability to run routerOS on them.
They have intel NIC's so not much worry there, chipset is the Nvidia 8000 series so an unknown variable there.
I am looking for at least a 2-300Mbps of IPSEC traffic with a combination of about 100 firewall and mangle rules.

Any thoughts and experience if they would be compatible with routerOS and the performance?

Thanks

up up any one got any info ????????

I ended up getting some SuperMicro SuperServer 5015B-MR servers cheap, so went with then instead. They work well, no issues.
Just install them to an SSD attached to the SATA interface, rather than USB, From memory you have to make a change in the bios with regards to the sata controller so that the sata disk is detected. legacy mode or something.
