The Higher-Bandwidth, Lower-Cost Connection of Choice: 10GBASE-T LAN on Motherboard

New business demands are driving bigger, more advanced and self healing networks.

Cloud computing, virtualization and big data are driving the need for even more network bandwidth. With Gigabit Ethernet as the standard, savvy network managers are seeking to transition to 10GBASE-T for higher throughput, more flexibility and lower costs. Take a look at Intel and Dell as they showcase their new LAN on Motherboard enhancements to the Dell PowerEdge servers. Worth taking a new look at. 

In the lab this technology appears to meet expectations of the enterprise.  Could it fit a niche in your data center?  Perhaps in manufacturing floor?  How about multi media?  Seems to perform very well for streaming media.  I am impressed -

Keep it postiive!

  1. Scott - when can you talk about load balancers - like F5, A10, Cisco, etc. We are looking to make a decision on this technology soon, and interested in your opinion.
