10G Servers are dedicated servers with a single 10Gbps unmetered port. They come with industry leading SLA’s and 99.9% uptime guarantees, and are supported by a team of experts who are available around the clock. With this kind of server, you can have all the power you need to run your application at full capacity.
LREC9802BF-2SFP+10G server adapter
The LR-Link LREC9802BF-2SFP+ 10G server adapter features dual 10Gb Ethernet ports and the latest BCM57810 single-chip solution from Broadcom. This server adapter delivers full line-rate performance over all ports with advanced features including jumbo frames, PXE boot and VMware Net Queue.
With the growing use of virtualization, networks are being pushed to their limits. Multi-core servers, database clusters, and video-on-demand all drive the need for scalable, flexible I/O solutions. 10Gb Server Adapters address this problem and allow network-intensive applications to perform at peak performance in a virtualized environment.
10GBASE-T Short Reach mode
For the last year, 10GBASE-T has become increasingly popular in data centers. It supports lengths of up to 100 meters, giving data center managers flexibility to configure their cabling architecture. In addition to scalability, this technology is also highly modular and costs little to manage.
This technology is less expensive than optical fiber and direct attach twinax copper cables. It uses a cable called Cat 6a that is easy to install, has a flexible length, and is compatible with Offshore Hosting existing gigabit switches. As bandwidth requirements increase and prices decrease, 10GBASE-T is quickly becoming the preferred cable for wiring closets.
FCoE encapsulates fiber channel frames over gigabit Ethernet
The FCoE standard is a data communication protocol that encapsulates a fiber channel frame inside a single Ethernet frame. This means that FC frames are never segmented across multiple Ethernet frames and have a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 2.5 kilobytes. As such, FCoE is sometimes referred to as baby jumbo.
FCoE combines Ethernet and Fibre Channel technology to enable server and SAN convergence. This technology allows a server to be connected to an FC storage area network without losing any frames. FCoE uses Ethernet switches and FCoE forwarders to provide a low-cost, large-scale FCoE system.
SFP+
Adding an SFP+ for 10G server adapter to your data center infrastructure can help meet increasing demands for network performance. As the number of virtual machines (VMs) running on multi-core servers increases, competition for I/O bandwidth is increasing. Adding a new 10G server adapter from Intel can address these bottlenecks and provide the performance needed for network-intensive applications.
10G server connections can be realized using either copper cable, fiber cable, or an SFP+ transceiver. These cabling systems are useful for EoR, MoR, and ToR configurations, depending on their distance requirements. However, it is important to consider the cost of adding an SFP+ transceiver to a server, which can add 30% to 40% to the interface costs. Moreover, the more connections your server has, the more expensive add-in network adapters will be.
