dear all,<br>
<br>
second post ;)<br>
<br>
another question here, also in most examples i noticed the infiniband or 10 GigE recommendation, does this really do any good for the individual server connection?<br>
another assumption on my side was that 1 individual server can never saturate a full gigabit link due to the disk throughput limitation, (maybe a few 100 MBps at most) </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
so if every server has a 1 Gigabit connection to a switch which in turn has a 10 GigE uplink it would not be a bottleneck (as long as there are not too many servers sharing the 10 GigE uplink)<br>
<br>
correct?</blockquote><div> </div><div>If one server has multiple disks (or RAIDS) and each is being read
simultaneously, it is certainly possible to saturate a single GigE
connection under some conditions.<br><br>Sean<br><br></div></div><br>
