[Oisf-users] Suricata question on what processor is best

[Leonard Jacobs]

That would work if we were using a tower or a 2U appliance but the purpose built network appliances we purchase are 1U and the manufacturer does not make a duel socket appliance as far as I know.  I will ask them if they have a 2U appliance or if they have a model with dual Xeon processors.


Their 10G network modules either have Intel 82599EB or Intel XL710 chips.



Thanks.

Leonard Jacobs

It's hard to tell but with 10G you might start to look into a dual
socket system with Intel Xeon Silver 4114, 10x 2.20GHz for example.
