asked on Fiber Optic Connections for my Server
New to this. Please Help. I have a Winbdows Server 2003 DC and a Exchange 2003 Box. We are using mostly GB NICS in each Client. The question I have have is would it be a large increase in speed and bandwith if a used GB Fiber Optic connection from my Servers to my main switch. I have 40 PC's lots of inter net usage and lots of email comming through a local T1 line (1.5mb). I cant help to think that I have a bottle neck situation.

you can get 10gb copper nics for around $500 but a 10gb switch like a cisco nexus is not cheap as there are not many 10gb switches around at the moment but you can get the virtual nexsus for $1000 and the put in a 10gb copper nic and then all the vms will have at least 256mb and esx does its job the vm;s basically have a 1gb nic
