The Case for 10GbE to the ServerThe Case for 10GbE to the Server

Multi-Core CPU architectures allowing bigger and

multiple workloads on the same machine

Server virtualization driving the need for more I/O

bandwidth per server

Growing need for network storage driving the demand

for higher network bandwidth to the server

10GE LAN on server Motherboards (LoM) beginning mid-

2008 (source: Broadcom )
