Server Uplinks.......10,100 mbps.........
 

Now is it possible to get a fiber uplink from server instead of the 100 mbps?

If your provider has gigabit switches, & NICs sure, but It'll probably cost you a little more.

Sure you can, its more expensive but you can get it. Gigabit copper is probally your best bet

Isprime offers this already for some time. They were one of the first host to offer this.

ISprime now offers Gigabit hand-offs directly to customers servers. High bandwith customers such as those doing video streaming can greatly benefit from these upgrades. Contact [email protected] for more infomation and pricing.

anybody know offhand cost for this? general figures

Depends on your provider. I'd say anywhere between $10 and $100 /mo.

of course bro the way your set up its mad simple

its totally possible and is done all the time and i will get it to you for like nothin

You can use gigabit fiber nic cards OR 1000 Copper Ethernet Nic Cards.
SplitInfinity offers gigabit switch links.... fiber OR copper.

A fiber NIC card is like 200 bucks...
A fiber GBIC for a Cisco GBIC port is like 120 bucks
Fiber cable is like 45.00 for a 6 ft cable.


Copper GIgabit Ethernet on the other hand is becoming just as cheap as regular ethernet (10/100). And they are backwards compatible. Most servers we order
come standard with gigabit ethernet ports that do 10/100/1000.
A typical macintosh computer has 10/100/1000 nic card built in... just to show you
how mainstream gigabit copper is.

Since we moved to 10/100/1000 blades, i have dozens of extra Gbic's for our 6509's, wanna buy some?

What kind of GBICs do you have? Im always looking for more of those puppies. :-)
