FCUK Our new Network is Fast.

Just copied an 800MB file from 1 2Gig Etherchanneled Server to another in just over 30 seconds :eek:

I laugh at your feeble network speed :)

We have a SAN setup with fibre cards for the backup servers, can't remember the speed rating but it is ridiculous!!

Our normal corporate network is only 100MBps though ;)

[Jezz_S13]

Our SANs are all 1Gb fibre channel which plug into 1Gb ether to the core routers.
1Gb = about 100MB/s
1024Mb/8 = 128MB but not all of that is user data, packet headers etc...

Chris,

I forgot to say, the data was being sucked off of a SAN before going across the Gigabit Network. :p

SAN is only Gigabit anyway.

We have calculated, that it is the speed of the disks that is the bottleneck. Ultra160 15K(RAID 5)..... can you get any faster.
