I think the Baldur's proposal works for organisation with few and highly skilled employees. But for larger organisation the CAPEX isn't relevant, it's the OPEX that matters and managing that magic linux box is going to be very OPEX heavy.
Totally agreed.
Also XEON isn't cheap chip, Jericho/PE/Trio/Solar/FP all are cheaper, significantly so. XEON does cover some segment of the market, but it's not large one.
Agreed as well. Years back, when we considered virtual routers on servers + a cheap Layer 2 switch to run a proper but inexpensive "small router", the servers always worked out more expensive to maintain over time. Mark.
