The Calxeda ECX-1000/2000 would have been ideal for you then - 4x10GbE interconnects with a quad core A9/A15.

Shame they went under - but there are alternatives from Marvell, Applied Micro and others. Look for ARM server chipsets and you'll usually find a good fabric attached.

You will also find a large price tag. And probably inability to actually buy one alas.

You can get the Mirabox based on the Marvell Armada 370 for about £150, one-off. Includes dual 1GbE.

That's not really server class, more a consumer product.
