In the last few years, Ethernet equipment vendors have announced big increases in line speeds, shipping 25, 50, and 100 Gigabits-per -second (Gb/s) speeds and announcing 200/400 Gb/s. At the same time Fibre Channel vendors have launched 32GFC, 64GFC and 128GFC technology while InfiniBand has reached 200Gb/s (called HDR) speed.
But who exactly is asking for these faster new networking speeds, and how will they use them? Are there servers, storage, and applications that can make good use of them? How are these new speeds achieved? Are new types of signaling, cables and transceivers required? How will changes in PCIe standards and bandwidth keep up? And do the faster speeds come with different distance limitations?
These are among the questions our panel of experts will answer at the next live SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) webcast on May 21, 2019, “New Landscape of Network Speeds.” Join us to learn:
- How these new speeds are achieved
- Where they are likely to be deployed for storage
- What infrastructure changes are needed to support them
