SBS 2008 with 10GBE Card

This is kind of a continuation of a previous question. I want to know if a
server with a 10GBE Card is worth the cost. I will be purchaseing a new
server in the next weeks. All of my workstations will state on GB
conections. I believe it is possible to buy a switch that has 2 10GBE ports
with 48 GB connections. (Dell perhaps). ONe of my concerns is the cabling.
My office is wired with Cat5e cabling. I believe you need Cat6 for 10GBE.
Since only the server will be 10GBE and CAT6, will it even work at all.
Thanks,
Allen

You haven't said much about what kind of work is done in this office.

You could, perhaps, relocate the server so that providing in-spec cabling
from the 10GBE port to the server can be accomplished without too much cost.

The "will it even work at all" is too broad a question, I think. If you
provide the right cabling, the server will connect to the switch at the
rated speed--it might even do that with cabling nominally out of spec if it
happens to be "good enough" due to quality or length.

However, the question is whether the switches theoretical switching
throughput will allow that link to the server to be utilized at its full
capacity, should the applications you are running create the demand.

so: 1) will the work you are doing create sufficient traffic in the
foreseeable future to make provision of the 10GBE link worth the costs
involved, and, if it might, 2) will the switch actually provide the
throughput to utilize that link to capacity?

I don't see anything wrong with your idea here--having a higher capacity
link between switches, or between a switch and a server is not unusual--but
I don't know how to gauge how likely your needs are to actually make use of
this capacity--and I haven't looked at the costs involved. Simple GBE is
inexpensive enough that I would expect many SBS installations might be using
it--I am. But I haven't costed out the step up that you are looking at.

I'm with you. The answer hasn't frankly changed, and I seriously doubt he'll
get any benefit. Now, if he's using his 10GigE fabric to support an iSCSI
infrastructure with a really fast SAN that can feed it, then maybe.

Just picking on you Allen,

So like the others say, You are only as good as your weakest link
So in the Average SBS environment.
To answer your question!

Nope not worth it.
Like Cris Says
Unless you give us some Reason that you need this speed
like thousands of dollars wasted each Second of delay..
(if that is the case you need all the pieces to fit.)

Hopefully This answers it this time

Smallest pipe or pipe fitting will be the limiter. So one has to consider
the whole data path from disk to controller to bus memory, bus to network
card, NIC, cable, Switch, routers, and back up the workstation.

If your going to invest in a 10GB switch you might want to look into the
specs and the forwarding rates it supports. Just having the link speed or
even the data rate doesn't mean it can sustain it.

I don't usually like to invest in bleeding edge componets unless it's to
complete the whole 'system' and meet current or expected near term
requirments. Prices just keep falling on componets. Stringing new cable
though is an excpetion. The costs are labor lopsided and only makes sense to
use materials for the comming speeds not the current standards.

Unless your firm is an architectural firm with huge CAD drawings or some

Here's my take on this. Assuming you have security, reliability, and
redundancy covered, what gives you bang for the buck is the user experience.
Several years ago, I upgraded my entire office from 10 to 100 mbps Ethernet,
and not one person noticed. A little while later, I put in gigabit switches
for the servers, and to connect various parts of the office that were
previously running on 100 mbps segments. Again no one noticed.

To me, I've never heard of anyone experiencing performance complaints due to
100 or 1000 mbps Ethernet, with the possible exception of firms doing huge
CAD projects, video rendering, or something along those lines. For the
usual office experience, you'll get much more out of putting money into RAM,
video cards, better monitors, etc. - things that improve the user experience
at the desktop. Users - and business owners - know about their desktop
experience, not what sits in the closet or on the server. Find someone
running on 512 mb of RAM and stick an extra GB in their PC - that's what'll
get them smiling, not a bleeding edge network switch.

Charlie, I think you're still the only one running SBS with an iSCSI SAN in
their home office : -)

That's OK, you'll all catch up to me eventually. Remember when I was the
only one running x64?

I'm just getting to x64 now - the RAM arrived yesterday for my home pc to go
from win7 32 RC to 64 rtm.

I'll bet the dog would like it if you stuck his bed on top of that SAN for
the cold Canadian winter.

The SAN is no big deal. It's my old SBS 2003 server, running Windows Server
2008, 32-bit with 3GB of RAM. Has a 3ware card in it, with 6x 400 GB
Enterprise SATA drives, in a single big array. It has a yucky PCI video card
that has no drivers so only does generic VGA at 1024x768. Has a pair of
Intel dual GigE NIC cards in it, though, to allow for some serious network
traffic. The processor is some old P4, I don't have the foggiest idea which
one, but it was new when I built the SBS 2003 box, so you can imagine. All
that, combined with Starwind iSCSI software and we have a nice little SAN
out of a box that had no future else. (Won't even work for the next version
of WHS, since that's 64-bit only.)
