40Gbps and 100Gbps ethernet both set to become standards. How long before we have to upgrade??
We have just learned from ITWire that the powers that be will work on 40gbps and 100gbps simultaneously. This is the sentence that jumped out at us:
“It was discovered 100GbE would likely best meet the demands of the next generation Internet backbone and network aggregation points. In enterprise computing, 40GbE better matches the bandwidth demand driven by server technologies such as host bus interfaces, memory speeds, and multi-core processing.”
100gbps on the backbone and 40gbps to the desktop… Sweet! We don’t know yet if it will require new hardware, new wiring or will it work over the existing infrastructure? We upgraded all of our Cat-5 to Cat 6E last year when we finished upgrading all of our 10/100 nodes to pure 1000. How long before we are running through this again??
Anyone have any other information on this please post it in the comments!

We are quite happy over here with our gbps but as technology evolves we need bigger back bones. As we have bigger back bones more data is being pushed to the desktop.
How long did it take for gb to get certified or whatever its called?
