What's funny is that obviously, the Barracuda "appliance" is a standard Supermicro 2U server :)

- ocdtrekkie 3y agoThis is often the case. VM appliances are all little Linux VMs where the user just doesn't have access to the internals. Heck, that's basically Docker containers too. Also, Barracuda cheaps out on these massively especially at the low end. I've seen, in the modern Core i years, Barracuda 1U appliances powered by Pentium III processors. I suppose they are powerful enough for the job Barracuda is asking of them, but it's worth a chuckle to see how many years old the chipset they're shipping is. The hardware is absolutely the cheapest part of the stack for them.
