Irrelevant. Crypto accelerator could be nice though. > Memory -- slots, module type, form factor, capacity, speed, ECC, ranking, > other? 512Mb minimum. > > - Gigabit Ethernet. > > Quantity?

Chassis material is irrelevant, size should not exceed standard 1U, weight should not exceed 10 lbs (without HDDs). > On 11/10/17 08:38, Reco wrote: > > [Price range?] <= $500 > > > On 11/10/17 09:01, Reco wrote: > > power consumption ...

The only kind of out-of-band management I use is old trusty RS-232. So no iLO or equivalent. > Other? n/a Reco
