Hello there,
i want to share my experiences with this fine box from zotac.
First i've tried to running Astaro v8.203 (32bit) within an VM (KVM/Proxmox), CPU (VIA Nano X2 @ 1.2GHz, dualcore) supports Intel-VT (VMX) and 64bit.
The VM has 2 (VM-)CPUs, 2GB Ram.
The Performance with just one user and proxy/ips/nat/appfilter was ok, but if there are more users, the vm runs into 70-90% (VM-)cpu load (otherwise the host only shows up to 50% load) and the surfing in the internet is veeerrryyyy ssllooooowwww. [:(]
So i installed native, without virtualization.
Here i access the 2 cores, 4GB Ram and a 120GB hdd (5400/8, SATA2). With all features enabled it works great, cpu load with (currently) 2 users only at 5-10% (sometimes it grows up to 30% for a very short time). Very fast surfing.
I'm actually using 1 NIC (Via VT6130 onboard, GBit) with a second IP-Adress (external) and setup up my rules with this config, works great, all features usable.
Very nice and cheap box (~ 150€ in Germany), ideal for home-use Astaro and/or small offices (i think up to 10 Users (maybe more?), like the ASG110). [:)]
Any question? Please ask, i'll try to figure out...
Manuel aka "Umpf"
