Alternative to Qotom Q190G4 with AES-NI?
-
Hello folks,
I have an alix2d3 that is working perfectly since 2010.
As the time goes by my WAN links speed increased to 150 Mbps so the 100 Mbit/s NICs are too slow. I need 1 Gbit adapters. Also for the packages that I want to use would most probably required some more beefy CPU.My first candidate was Qotom Q190G4 / Q190G4N. Strong and efficient CPU (TDP 10W) and fanless. Unfortunately, after the latest news about AES-NI and 2.5. The J1900 does not fit the bill.
My next candidate is apu3a4. The CPU support the AES-NI instructions:
CPU: AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC, 1 GHz quad Jaguar core with 64 bit and AES-NI support, 32K data + 32K instruction cache per core, shared 2MB L2 cache.
Also, I’ll be able to attach m-SATA SSD. But am not quite sure if it will carry the
The packages that I would like to use are as follows:
pfBlockerNG
snort
squid / squidGuard
OpenVPN / tincCould you please based on that recommend some hardware setup?
If possible like the Qotom one fanless.
Powerful enough CPU but efficient.
RAM 8 Gigs would fit fine.
SSD capable.
4 Gigabit NICs. -
Take a look at QOTOM-Q355G4

apu2 should work fine. The apu3, it's the same hardware with added support for lte modems.

How about this one from Lanner?
It looks great but having trouble finding a reasonably priced source…
