[quote user="cryptochrome"] Hi, I want to build my own appliance for the home edition. Are there any spec sheets or something similar that will tell me what kind of performance I can expect from different processors (Celeron, Atom, i3, i5 etc.)? Specifically, my home internet uplink has 400 mbits and I run many parallel sessions that I would all like to protect with IPS, AV, SSL-decryption etc. - So I need to build an appliance that can handle the 400 mbit with all features enabled. If I were to buy a Sophos XG appliance, I would probably go for a XG105. Unfortunately Sophos don't tell the hardware specs on their site... Right now I am looking at a Zbox MI551 that has a 6th gen Intel i5 quad-core at 2.2 Ghz. Overkill? Good enough? I wouldn't mind some extra breathing room, I just need to avoid having a box that's too slow. [/quote] Have a look at this pdf: http://www.infinigate.at/fileadmin/user_upload/Products/Sophos/Products/Network_Protection/sophos_xg_series_sizing_guide_sgna.pdf You can find number of CORE and RAM to be used when a certain numbers of users is used. Use the PDF to calculate the type of users (Average, Advanced and Power) and you will find the answer. [;)]
