Cool… getting 10Gb ports for that cost is great…

Part of the exercise is implementing 10Gb Ethernet for the first time. I work in the SMB space at a company with an IT staff of two. Consequently, I don't get too jazzed about much in the way of infrastructure these days, but I gotta tell ya, it's slicker the greased owl sh** to see sustained file transfers on the order of 750MB/sec (without any network tweaking at all). More info. as things progress, but, for today at least, it was was pretty cool throwing multi-GB files around in mere seconds. (Heck, it was hard finding something big enough to test with!)
