Look for Power Tradeoffs in 10GBASE-T Ethernet

Tags:
ethernet

Overview IEEE 802.3, a 10GBASE-T Ethernet standard ratified in June 2006 following four years of development, is considered a mature and worthy successor to the 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T standards, which were ratified in 1995 and 1999, respectively. The marketplace is ready for a speed upshift from the network: commodity servers have ample CPU horsepower and IO-plane performance, and many applications are pushing the bandwidth requirements for both servers and the core data-centre network. However, the increased signal-processing requirements imposed by the 10GBASE-T channel mean that an early-generation 10GBASE-T Physical Transceiver (PHY) consumes significantly more power than a mature 1000BASE-T transceiver or conventional coax- or fiber-optic-based transceivers. Switch products face a relatively simple set of design tradeoffs as power improvements on 10GBASE-T transceivers drive denser 10Gbps switches.

Virtualisation gets trendy

Grid computing is also an example of resource aggregation, as it enables the virtualisation of distributed IT resources such as storage, bandwidth and CPU cycles, while splitting a mainframe into logical partitions is an example of partitioning.
