40gbe

Hi everybody, I need to setup a 40G network, I am connecting a single workstation with a server. As of right now, I only need point-to-point between these two machines. Distance is app. 15m. Been reading up on 40G required hardware, but am a little bit confused, so I have some questions -...

I'm planning a 40gbe (maybe infiniband) network for my homelab. I don't have a dedicated server room and from what I read the 40gbe switches are very loud (Mellanox list some of it's ethernet switches with 70dba). In different threads on sth people posted about soundproofed enclosures like the...

Hi all, Can anybody recommend about a *new* (in the sense of not used, not in the sense of modern) 40Gb Ethernet QSF+ network interface card, which can be bought by ebay.com or Amazon (or elsewhere, with international shipping) Regards, Kevin

The existing 10GbE network is adequate for my data center now, but the 40Gbps and 100Gbps applications have been on the market for some time. So for future proofing, how to add 40Gbps and 100Gbps services to a existing metro network without affecting the legacy installation? I really need some...

This may have been covered already in another thread but I wasn't able to find anything when I searched. I've found Gnodal GS4008 switches for a pretty good price and was wondering if anyone on here had managed to get their hands on a manual or the latest firmware image. If anyone has a copy of...
