Re: [Xen-users] Working 10gig NICs on linux 3.x

[Peter Braun <xenware@xxxxxxxxx>]

It depens on budget and purpose.

If your budget is low than you should definitely look at Infiniband.
You can get Mellanox or Qlogic IB 10/20 or even 40Gbps adapters at
unbelivatle prices. Just yesterday I spotted 40Gbps dual Qlogic
adapter for 200USD and 10Gbps dual card is easy to get for 20USD.

For small deployment it would be perfect option and i do not mention
other advantages of Infiniband (lower latency, bigger throughput etc.)

I think Infiniband popularity will rise rapidly with Windows 8 because
will have full support.
