We are looking to purchase a new server for Netflow exports. This will main=
ly be used to evaluate our transit bandwidth for potential peering opportun=
ities. A long data retention is not a high priority.
Our combined transit bandwidth is around 6 Gbps and increasing all the time=
.
Looking to get a sanity check on the server hardware required. We will be u=
sing Nfsen as the collector.
Would one of the below configurations be okay to handle such as task? If no=
t, does anyone have any other recommendations.
Thanks in advance.
