Re: [STDS-802-3-BWA] STDS-802-3-BWA] Meeting Announcement
Dear Ad Hoc Participants,
During the Ad Hoc meeting in July, there was a discussion about the extent of high end data center migration of server I/O from 1G to 10G. An example was brought up of Facebook keeping their server I/O at 1G and not migrating to 10G for network architecture reasons.
I checked with Donn Lee at Facebook and he commented that this used to be the case but is now old information, and that they do care about 10GE on servers. This is consistent with comments from other high end data center operators who are migrating their servers to 10GE I/O.
If anyone has additional information in this area, it would be helpful if it could be shared since high end data center server I/O is an important bandwidth driver.
Chris
