Hello,
I would like to establish a point to point 10 gb network connection between my esxi home lab and my storage/file/backup server.
Distance is approximatly 2 meters.
As I am on a budget I came across this card:
ASUS PEB-10G/SFP PLUS Dual Network Adaptor: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
They are selling in my home country for 180 EUR each (new)
Has anyone of you experiences with those cards?
Would there be the possibility of daisy chaining the cards? (for a upcoming update in the more distant future
Infiniband would also be an option, but I am not shure which cards to choose.
And they don't seem to be very common in Europe.
Some of the available ones are:
Voltaire InfiniBand 4X DDR PCI-e 2Port - HCA 500Ex-D 99EUR
Cisco Infiniband 74-4538-01 2 Port SFS-HCA-X2T7-A1 126EUR
HP Infiniband 4X DDR PCI-e Dual Port HCA Card 448397-B21 452372-001 69 EUR
HP InfiniBand HCA 4X DDR Dual Port PCI-E - 483513-B21/487504-001 99 EUR
HP InfiniBand 4X QDR PCI-E G2 Dual Port HCA 583211-B21 239 EUR
