10-Gigabit Ethernet Standard Approved

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the faster-pr0n dept.

A little birdie brings news that that 802.3ae standard for 10 Gigabit/second Ethernet has been approved. Everyone out there with Gigabit Ethernet - you are now officially obsolete. The new standard is fiber only, no more of that nasty copper stuff.

    Imagine a Beowolf cluster of these... Ha!

    Seriously though, this might be a strong catalyst for more clustering of many different types of application servers etc. A faster link is always better... :)
