Barebones network appliance, 4+ GbE NICs, Intel chipset

Looking for a stepped-up ALIX or Soekris embedded network appliance to load pfSense and/or handle other FOSS-based network roles.

Main criteria is a GbE NICs (will be used for core routing/firewalling with managed GbE switches), DDR3 RAM capable, and multi-core/Intel Atom processor, in a 1U rack-mountable case or smaller.

Axiomtek has the ideal product but I don't think they have retail channels.

  • You can build your own around this Supermicro chassis. But you would need to use the 4 port Intel NIC to accomplish your goal.

    gravyface : i think this is the best route: build my own. While I've uncovered a pile of pre-built options, there's always a component that's lacking or I don't need/want.
