Hi, This is interesting to me, because I have been looking to replace some of my hosted VM infrastructure with low power devices such as the ones discussed in this thread. They would make ideal static webservers, recursive dns servers for our offices, development and staging environments, and some of our internal apps. The Soekris units have a reseller channel who bundle the boards with power supplies and a 1U case. My motivation ? Each VM costs me 20W of power. One of the Soekris units runs in 10W. I have so far held off because the Soekris net6501 [0] promises to be a much more capacious device, but so far pricing and availability has been illusive. If anyone has any more info on this upcoming unit or some other Intel based low power 1U boxes. Andy [0] http://lists.soekris.com/pipermail/soekris-tech/2009-December/016250.html
