Information required on 10Gigabit Ethernet cards




 Hello All,

I needed some information and datapoints on the following topics:
- today what is 10GbE card used for?
- what do you see the future for 10GbE?
- what do you think is an acceptable price point for this card (just a guesstimate)? Today it is very expensive as compared to the regular 1GbE cards. It is almost 10 times the price.
- which applications and where do you see the usage of this card?
- which target market (vertical industry as well as horizontal industry) - Telco, server consolidation, partitioning etc?
- do you think that a 10GbE card can be used as a core I/O card on a server - maybe on high end servers (UNIX, Intel ....) OR do you think customers would continue to use 1GbE card as a core I/O?
- what is a core I/O card and what is it used for by the customers in the datacenters?

If you can respond to any of these questions if not all, it would be really appreciated. If you can give any additional information on this topic of 10GbE, it would be very helpful. Any kind of pointers etc also would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot for spending some time on this and help me get my answers.
Until you have a computer with no moving parts, hard drives or tapes, you cannot push enough data through a 1 gig card to use it’s full capabilities. The best servers can burst up to about 600 meg. Only a backup could sustain any data transfer that gets close to that. At this time, 10 gig is for switch to switch.

sta… Your card is ok. There is interference between the router and your computer.  

  

1. The router or the PC may be "hidden" behind a metal cabinet, refrigerator, etc.  

2. Move router higher  

3. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones (not cellphones) that use 2.4GHz will interfere with the 2.4GHz WiFi signal.  

4. Point the router antennas in-line with the direction of the PC.  

5. Move the router closer to the PC. a credit card is a payment method that lets the user borrow money as needed to purchase goods and services. using a credit card responsibly also is the easiest way to build a good credit score. other benefits for credit card users include the opportunity to earn rewards on purchases, the flexibility to pay off large purchases over time, or the chance to reduce the cost of existing debt through a balance transfer. on the other hand, banks and credit unions offer credit cards because they are a good source of income from fees and interest charges.
to qualify for a credit card account, an applicant must be at least 18 years old with enough income to afford monthly bill payments, in light of the individual’s existing financial obligations. there is no minimum age to get a credit card as an authorized user, however.
physically, a credit card is about the size of a driver’s license. most new credit cards are now equipped with a magnetic stripe and a metal chip, allowing cardholders to swipe, dip or tap their card in or against a payment terminal to complete a purchase. the stripe, the chip, or the credit card number can be used to make purchases, which will deduct from the card’s credit line. the amount of a credit line – called a credit limit – depends on the cardholder’s income and overall creditworthiness. once a month, the cardholder receives a credit card statement detailing purchases and payments made during that billing cycle, and noting when the cardholder must make a payment on the account.
credit card features & fees
credit cards require regular payments to keep the account open and in good standing. if you pay for your purchases within the window of the grace period on the account (typically between 21 and 25 days after the monthly statement is issued), you won’t have to pay more than you borrowed. if you carry your balance past that, however, you’ll generally have to pay the regular interest rate - or regular apr - on the amount you owe. credit cards have higher regular aprs than most consumer loans, so it’s best to avoid carrying a balance.
outside of interest charges, credit cards may come with fees. late fees apply to nearly all credit cards when you don’t pay at least the minimum payment by the due date. annual, monthly, and one-time fees may be charged just to have certain credit cards. the credit cards with the biggest benefits and perks - travel credits, free airport lounge memberships, and the highest rewards rates, to name a few - are usually the ones with annual fees.
credit cards may give access to a certain amount of cash in the form of a cash advance. when you take out a cash advance, the grace period does not apply. you will start accruing interest the day you get the cash, and the cash advance fee will be added to your credit card balance.
a balance transfer is another credit card function that usually comes with a fee. balance transfers essentially pay one credit card balance with another credit card for the purpose of saving money in interest charges. in addition to the average balance transfer fee of 3%-5%, there’s an interest rate for the amount you transfer. Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet? no, the top one is not worth it.

the core i7 990x is a very expensive cpu that's ideal for hardcore number crunching, 3d design/rendering and media encoding. but it's not future-proof by any stretch of imagination, that socket is already obsolete.

for everyday use and gaming, the core i5 2500k is the best bang/buck processor on the market.

if you're building a rig for movie editing or working in maya/3d studio max/blender, you're probably still better off with the core i7 2600k than the 990x because of the huge price disparity. the $700 difference in price corresponds to a small difference in overall performance. for that money you could have a professional workstation graphics card, triple the ram etc.

for gaming, the most important component in your build is the graphics card, and i don't see one listed? roughly 70% of gaming performance is determined by your graphics card. for gaming, even a core i5 2400 with a radeon hd 6970 or gtx 570 is far superior to the more expensive 990x with some $110 graphics card like a radeon hd 5750 or geforce gts 450.

anyway, it's not possible to buy any computer hardware that will still be considered "great" 5+ years later. you want something great by today's standards, on a socket which provides good upgrade options a couple of years down the road. you may not need to upgrade so quickly, but you'd be able to- that's how you get a system to last 5+ years.

ivy bridge will be released in the next few months, and that will outperform sandy bridge. update:

i have now found some uk specific charts that tell me exactly what i needed to know... these were available from the association of network managers in education:

thanks for your help everyone! :) searching for [nagios graphics card](https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=alekk01og-pwbfooqixifscmfpjltwkfzw:1614931551149&ei=x-zbyizncjmyjlsptq-2ka&q=nagios+graphics+card&oq=nagios+graphics+card&gs_lcp=cgdnd3mtd2l6eam6bwgjeladecdq-bebwpmxawc8swfoanaaeacaawmiababkgedms4xmaeaoaebqgehz3dzlxdpesgbacabaq&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahukewjm-mtr2jjvahuzdgmbhbaxdquq4dudca0&uact=5) got me some:

<https://exchange.icinga.com/jasem/check_nvidia>
<https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/plugins/hardware/others/gpu-sensor-monitoring-plugin/details> while the 10710u is more powerful, the 10510u is enough for browsing and other office tasks. if you're mostly gonna be browsing or watching movies, both of them will do just fine. but uhd display gives the 10510u an extra advantage.
but if you're gonna be playing games or creating/editing multimedia contents(or 3d renders), the extra power of 10710u will be very handy. i think it’s too early to think about h.266.

in any case if it will be supported then you need new hardware.
