Indeed… I will say tho’, that when going inexpensive with switch gear, it will be a dark time if there’s ever a knight where a problem rises up and you can’t manage them remotely.
Maybe worth it to have a spare in case of problems? -sc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Stovall Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 2:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] 10Gb Ethernet It doesn't suck, that's for sure.[1] [1] Unlike the terrible movie I watched last night...

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!)
