Link: VMware: VMware Networking Blog: 10GigE Networking Performance with ESX 3.5.
- Improving managability by reducing the cable and NIC sprawl. 2x 10GigE links versus 6, 8, 10 or more 1 GigE can simplify your infrastructure
- Convergence of Fibre Channel and Network traffic using FCoE (Fibre
Channel over Ethernet). The ability to do away with Fibre Channel HBAs
and converge the FC SAN traffic with the ethernet network traffic is
the TCO tipping point for some customers. …But, …how does 10GigE perform on ESX 3.5? Our performance team published a paper this week on that very theme.
