Please if this not the forum to ask this, my apologies.
I have a plan to move our current p2p link to a vpn, the reason is that our carrier in 1 site will shutdown their links in the border soon.
I have right now a server, the main site running on:
hw.machine: amd64
hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz
hw.ncpu: 4
hw.machine_arch: amd64
8GB RAM
The site #2 is a small office 6 users their I have a neoware 1Ghz 1GB RAM and everything is fine, they are working.
Now with this carrier issues, I was thinking to move our p2p and use openvpn again to create a site #3, the difference is that in the site #3 we have the email server, this is services is the biggest I will cross with this new tunnel.
Main Site 60 users 90% traffic email.
Site #3 physical location of the email server.
I will have traffic from site #3 to Main Site but their I have 10 users that can use 3 services:
RD
http
netbios
But they don't use those services the whole time, they don't bother me honestly, they will use 10% of the pipe or less.
The biggest service will came from Main-Site 2 Site#3 the email server.
In the main site I can bring a 10MB pipe symmetric from my ISP, on site #3 I can have more but I depend on main-site.
I have 4 questions, that would love to hear comments and suggestion that I will appreciate, this is the first time I have to deal with a vpn this size:
1) Does my current hw in the main site is good for the new vpn I will add?
2) What hw do u recommend in site #3?
3) Does 10MB can help me or need more?
4) Have never use a crypt card, do this can help or with current CPU's can handle the work?
Thanks for your time, any comments I will appreciated, thanks 🙂
