@jerry I'm going to start with just a private machine, get my feet wet. But if there comes a time when it makes sense - I have 2x 40 core Xeons and a half a dozen 16 core Xeons here. And a 5gbit/sec symmetric fiber connection. 40gbit fiber floor, and 6x 10gbit/sec fiber links from the firewall. (also a 16 core Xeon) All the Xeons have 2x 10gbit SFP+ and 6x gigabit copper.
