Trying to decide on hardware for Nessus

["Zate Berg" <zate75@gmail.com>]

I am trying to decide on a Sun Server (current supported platform here at work) to run Nessus on.  Will be running Solaris 10 aswell.

Whats the consensus on something like their T2000 server?  Its a single proc, 8 core, 32 Threads server.  Will nessus thread nicely on that?  I know its only single proc but its 8 cores, each core has 4 threads so in effect its almost like having 32 single thread procs.

Should I be looking for multiple processors more than multiple threads per core/proc ?  Sun offers a bit of both.

What kinds of hardware are people running Nessus on?  I am looking to scan a very large environment, generally from a central location that has full visibility to everywhere in the network.
