tiny UTM Home build - Gigabyte Brix

balletbob
Hi,

I thought I'd share some thoughts of a UTM Home build i'm looking to do.

At the moment i'm running the UTM as a virtual machine on my Server Essentials 2012 box but that just makes that machine sluggish so I want to move it to it's own hardware.

I've been eying off SFF and USFF devices for a while a Gigabyte has just release their latest version of their BRIX devices which look perfect for the task.

So my thought is:
Gigabyte BRIX GB-BXCE-2955
4gb memory
30gb mSATA SSD

The BRIX has a single ethernet port and built in WiFi.
I can connect an ADSL modem to the ethernet port but does anyone know if I can use the built in WiFi to make the UTM an access point? 
Otherwise I'll just use it as the internal interface to my network via my existing WiFi AP.

I'm now waiting on pricing and availability of this new model.

Thoughts?

    Currently about 50% of RAM is used. I have 2 site-to-site IPSec tunnels (1 using RSA keys to company UTM, 1 using PSK, both using AES 256-bit encryption).
    I use the Morex T3460 Mini-ITX Case.

    Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
