That's the aggregate from the iSCSI chassis to the servers. They get =>3Gb/sec easy. Jumbo frames help there. From the servers to the network it's the standard spread-the-load means across 4 gig lines. All clients are 100Mb or 1Gb, nothing faster, so it's quite zippy for them. Not 10Gb speeds but priced well.
(standing on bus, think I got it all...;))
Do the math: to get > 1Gbit/s on your fabric-side links, you need to spend a copious amount if you're going 10gigE. Not only are the switches ungodly expensive compared to 1Gbit
At work the iSCSI chassis we've been buying have 4x 1Gb ports which bind to make a 4 Gb pipe (the initiator has to be capable). Not 10GigE but much cheaper than a 10 Gb-ready switch.
'course, if you need 10 Gbit, you need 10 Gbit but this is a nice trade-off if super-performance isn't critical.
At work a few years ago we were looking at FCoE but it was huge coin. We opted for iSCSI and haven't looked back. Our gear doesn't have to be super-zippy so we started with 16 drive iSCSI->SATA2 chassis in RAID 6 w/ hotspare. We can bind 4 GigE channels for decent throughput. Not 10 Gb speed but great for our purposes. YMMV.
I'm waiting for some new virtual reality gimmick to hit when "Web 3.0" comes around in the future. Slashdotters with 11 digit UIDs will hear a virtual doorbell, open a virtual door and see a virtual flaming paper bag on the virtual doorstep.
All the while a real 30 year old virgin in his mom's real basement is hiding in the virtual bushes watching the victim's avatar stomp the virtual bag filled with virtual dog pop.
Peter (not so) Bright gives a long winded, read 4 pages of
FUD
I come to slashdot for the articles but stay for one-sided
submission summaries.
Not that I support Google's move but, come on, this is summary is a
troll unto itself.
I'm not sure that they're "foolproof". Last year, at age 44 (get off my lawn), I ended up with progressive lenses.
I'm used to them now but it was very surrealistic walking around with them at first, especially with things in the lower part of the focus. I still kick things/step on toys around the house.
Overall I'm 80% happy with them. If these things can do it automagically and avoid the visual screw-ups, I'd try them in a heartbeat.
If this plant were in Canada, the government would impose another tariff on blank CDs and give the cash to the CD manufacturers. Have to make up for the evil pirates somehow!

I hope they pick up an Ubuntu-like naming scheme after HTML5.
Nothing says Professional like "HTML Fistable Foal" or whatever.

LOL, oh too funny!

That's redundant.

Oh, I don't know. An app is much easier on the ass.
The moment some impoverished person starts sharing a shitty screener of True Grit, the MPAA will have a missile launched at the satellite.
Let's start a googlebomb... The MPAA Homepage. Motion Picture Association of America.
The MPAA? They're the people Bing are paying to have Google knocked offline.
I'm scared - hold me...
You should go into your hugbox. Ironic that it if weren't for vaccines, you wouldn't need one.

Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words: 'Good morning, I want to go home.'
Thirteen days and 5 minutes after the surgery her husband asked: 'She'll still be able to deep-throat, right Doc?'
Does he also spray himself with Axe thinking that's as good as a shower?
I lol'd. But I'm "old".
I hear Richard Stallman is changing his name to GNU/Jesus.
Philanthropy and the fact that Gates didn't run an organization which hid and shuffled its pedophiles around the world.
I recently turned 45 and still post the occasional goatse link. Slashdot has damaged me more than had I been a heroin addict all these years.
I've given up all hope at recovery and now embrace my slashdot-induced retardedness. It's like a tattered, smallpox infected blanket on a cold day.
Summary rant aside, how would it affect x.264? Isn't that an open-standard of the h264 spec? If not, just use x264.

oops, and it's not automagic. Guess I'm keeping these fucking things.
