Hi Jesper,
 
"wire speed" might be a problem. From numbers I've seen, the ISA Firewall tops 
out at about 1.5 Gbps.
 
Of course, that could be a limitation of the testing enviroment, but I don't 
know what their besting environment was like, so I can't say.

        He Everyone,

         

        Does anyone have an idea for creating a ISA Server 2006 EE using 10Gb 
Adapters...

         

        My customer have the following requirements:

         

        - ISA Server 2006 EE (Array)

        - 3 x 10 Gb Interfaces Internal1, Internal2 and External (Would be 
upgraded to 40 and 100 Gb doing 2008!)

        - Must deliver "Wire Speed"

        - Route between Internal1 and Internal 2 <> External 

         

         

        My Questions to this configuration:

         

        - What kind of Server could handle this setup? HP 580 ?

        - How many ISA Servers should we place in the Array (2, 4 or more?)

        - Number of CPU´s and kinds ?

        - where will the bottlenecks be ? (The PCI bus ???)

         

        Thanks

         

        Jesper Hanno
