dear all, second post ;) 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? 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) 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) correct? -- Met Vriendelijke Groet, Randall Ciparo bv Postbus 22248 3003 DE Rotterdam Goudsesingel 178 3011 KD Rotterdam The Netherlands Tel: (31) 10 2136212 Fax: (31) 10 4046291 Direct Tel: (31) 10 2012159 E-mail: randall at ciparo.nl www.ciparo.nl www.aimreclaim.com
