Question: Assume 2400 cpu. If attached to the Sage, it has the dual intel 10gb nics. What if one used the Ace and added an intel x550-T2 or maybe an x710-TL2 (forget the other built-in nics) Pricing of the 2 choices is comparable. Obviously, there are less pcie lanes on the 2400 (and the...

I have moved toward using an A2SDi-H-TF which is a 3758 board from supermicro with 2 10gb rj45 ports on it. This is for a pfsense box although if Netgate ends up developing the SCLR os from the TSNR, that might be an option and would probably make my questions here not very relevant. There...

I have some knowledge of switching and routing having used dd-wrt and now openwrt for years and also having set up vlans. My question is about switching speed to another device on the same vlan. Assume you have 2 computers that are able to send data at the max throughput of 10gbe (newer...

Not a telco. Just looking for a small business setup.

I have been looking for news of the new Xeon D chips for networking since STH announced them earlier this year New Intel Xeon D Networking Chips Are Coming . The article indicates that they would be sampling in 1H 17 with production beginning mid-year. I have seen nothing about them and have...

I saw in the SKU post here at STH that the 3758,3858, and 3958 should be QAT enabled. I went to Supermicro and looked at the different new denverton boards and they state that some have QAT, but have one 3758, 2 3858s, and one 3958 model where there is nothing about QAT on the spec pages...

Thank you.

I am looking to build a server in the next few months and have been looking at different Supermicro motherboards. The ones I am leaning toward have different numbers of sata ports including the yellow powered superdom kind. I know that they are for sata dom flash drives, but I have something...
