Hello,
Endian is based on x86_64 architecture (only addressing 3.2GB of ram)
nevertheless you have the option of installing another kernel the
linux-xx-xx-pae.
I already did it with endian if not wrong with:
smart install kernel-pae (not sure if it's available on the community
version though)
if not available you may compile it. Just grab the config
/boot/config-2.6.xx.xxx.
Apply this config to a kernel source and then with make menu config
activate PAE
Compile ( make rpm for easy deploy)
And install the rpm on the Endian machine.
Endian can support a lot of concurrent sessions, the limit will be your HW.
I've used both community and UMT versions of Endian with more than
3.000, 100+ servers (email, dns, http, imap, etc) the setup isn't the
easiest ones and you should be familiar with networking principles, not
only be comfortable with the interface.
I've also used the support from Endian in the paid versions, if you are
using it for the mission critical I would suggest that. The prices are
affordable for the setup.
If you want' to keep using the community it's fine too but sometimes
even with deep knowledge it will save you a lot of time.
For the numbers you present a simple setup should be enough,
nevertheless i would go with enterprise hw.
Regs,
Pedro

Dear Pedro,
Thanks for your answer.
Endian FW Community supports 8GB of RAM?
Indeed I gave a bad data in the current Appliance (Sonicwall NSA 2400)
over a period of five months the peak of concurrent connections has
been 19,479
Endian FW Community supports many concurrent connections?
This Firewall in principle would only be for 8 servers, however if the
future will add to 50 users of my internal network, Endian FW
Community can support this?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards
Jose Luis

Hello
Yep you may use it no problem, just don't forget to use the pae
kernel to have the full 4GB support.
Also filtering on layer 7 (proxy http, email filtering) with
antivirus may be a bit heavy on cpu and disk usage, you should pay
attention to that.
IPS (snort) may be heavy with all those connections so use with
care, specify the rules that are really needed if any.
I doubt you can do anything with 200.000 connections and 4Mbps
connection so you should revise your numbers.
For a setup like that your also should have enterprise grade hw,
the price is almost the same for a
Basic Xeon
8GB ram
2x250 GB sata disk (RAID 1)
2-4 network cards enterprise level, don't use realtek chips,
broadcom is not that nice either, go with intel e1000 or newer models
If you really have the numbers you described you shouldn't have a
problem in setting a low end server for it.

Pedro Oliveira

Dear Sirs,
I have 8 servers (6 Linux and 2 Windows) where I have the
following services:
Mail services (Approximately 9,000 email accounts)
Web hosting services (Approximately 100 Web pages)
FTP Service (Approximately 100 accounts)
In addition
4Mbps internet access
100Mbps Internal Network
We would need approximately 200,000 concurrent connections.
My question would be if the Endian FW Community could support
these features.
The Endian FW Community will install it on a server with the
following characteristics:
CPU Core I3
4GB RAM
500GB HDD
Thanks for your help
Regards
Jose Luis
