13 Gigabit ports
note 10 of those ports are on ethernet switches, so the actual router probably only has 5 ethernet ports, 3 dedicated and 2 switch groups of 5 ports each.
also note this doesn't run centos, it runs the vendors own proprietary RouterOS linux distribution.
If your looking for a more enterprise solution that runs linux and is Red Hat certified, there's always the Dell R210 with configurations ranging from a Celeron (about $500 USD), Core I3, on up to a quad Xeon starting at $820 USD, 2 onboard broadcom gigE's and 1 X16 PCIexpress slot which could host a 4 port gigE card. It supports the Dell remote access controller. The only advantage I see to the Atom based system is they probably use a bit less power.
