Dell PowerEdge R310 compatibility

TPok
Hi,

I couldn't find an official HCL so I hope you can help me to check if the following components would work with the ASG Software V8.2:

Dell PowerEdge R310:
Intel Xeon X3450, 4C, 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 95W TDP, Turbo, HT, DDR3-1333MHz
Chipset: Intel 3420
RAID-Controller: PERC H200A RAID 
RAID-Controller: PERC H700 RAID (optional)
NIC: Broadcom 5716 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
NIC: Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter, Cu, PCIe-4
Video: Matrox G200eW

Thanks,
Stephan

    have you ordered it yet?  I am using a t110 and t110 2 right now without an issue.  YOur hardware should work fine with 8.2x or the 8.3 beta due to the kernel used in those astaro versions.  Of course instead of running it native just load up hyper-v(free), vmware(which the h200 is compatible with the latest esxi free version) or use KVM.  if you virtualize it with the aforementioned hypervisors it will work without an issue..[:)]

    I didn't order it yet because the final decision between appliance and software version is not done. What I know is that I'm no fan of virtualized firewalls in a productive environment. I like old school metal boxes for security or performance applications.

    There's no security issues virtualizing the firewall especially if that's the only vm on the host.  With vmware there no measureable performance impact and with hyper v I've not seen greater than 1 to 2 percent hypervisor load.  This isn't the old days of old slow software virtujalization the hardware and hypervisors are now designed to handle things natively in hardware.  Plus clustering is much easier and if your host goes tits up you move the the vm to a new host and you are back online with your logs and everhything intact

    Well. This seems to be a point to think about. Thanks for the input.
