Posted by: admin in: ● December 15, 2009
In part one of this blog I went over some of the configuration considerations for 10 GigE server NICs. “Performance” in that case was defined in terms of raw throughput – specifically TCP – which might be important to backup-and-recovery or a data center server. It is pleasantly surprising to discover that the right choice [...]

I am sure that question keeps you awake at night. For some of us, getting the most from 10G-connected hosts is a hot item on the agenda. And, it is not entirely clear yet what we can reasonably expect. Back when 1G was just becoming available for end-hosts, two things seemed certain: the NICs were [...]

The marriage of 10 Gigabit Ethernet and virtualization seems a matter of amazingly good timing. 10G did not seem to be offering much new to the networking world apart from being the same as 1G only faster. The urgency of increasing capacity for the most part just wasn’t there – at least not in [...]
