10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) technology promises to deliver increased speed and a unified approach to networking, clustering and storage applications. Current deployments of 10-Gigabit Ethernet are found in server clustering and network-trunking applications, and many 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches available today also support 1-Gigabit connections into the same switch. Fiber-optic technology is used for these applications, as copper-based technology for 10-Gigabit Ethernet is still relatively new. The price ratio between 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology and 1-Gigabit Ethernet technology is dropping, but currently 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology remains priced too high for many organizations.
The PCI-Express (PCIe) bus has the bandwidth to handle the new high-speed interconnect technologies, including 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology. As PCI-Express becomes more common in servers and desktop computers, and prices continue to drop for high-speed offload adapters and other devices, 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology may begin to become cost-effective for more common use in iSCSI SANs over the next 12 – 24 months.
