Supermicro S2000 series Atom with Marvel Alaskan nics

Bluedog
I am looking into this server, anyone test it out yet with a Sophos UTM? Wondering how Sophos UTM likes the Marvel Alaskan nics?

    I have seen those benchmarks, I don't know how well the translate to IPS throughput though.
    The closest indicator might be the Unixbench single threaded benchmarks or Crafty Chess which indicate that the newest Atom could be 4x to 8x faster per core than the older S1260.  If that holds up, IPS performance should be able to hit 50mbps per core, possibly more.

    Either way, those numbers look pretty good, and IPS performance increases should be massive compared to previous Atom processors.

    Thanks for the update.
