With the proliferation and widespread adoption of 10GbE environments accelerating in response to the dropping prices of switches and compatible systems, Thecus Technology Corp. has taken bold steps in positioning itself as a leader in storage at this top-tier of network technology. Further bolstering its goal of 'empowering professionals' is the release of the C10GTR NIC, the follow-up to its successful C10GT card.

Powered by an advanced Tehuti TN4010 processor, the new 10Gb Ethernet PCI Express Adapter from Thecus is compatible with both x4 and x8-sized PCIe slots as well as 100M, 1G, and 10G networks. Software supported by the C10GTR includes Windows Storage Server 2012, WSS 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows 7, Linux 2.6, Linux 3.x, VMWare 5.x, and Hyper-V. This low profile card is suitable for a wide range of products, including enterprise-targeted NAS from Thecus (such as the Top Tower, large business rackmount, and N7710/N8810U series, as well as the N7700 and N8800 PRO v2). Lastly, the C10GTR is also fully compliant with a wide range of protocols, including IEEE 802.3az, IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation, and IEEE 802.1q VLAN.



A step towards the future
With the unstoppable evolution of the network technology marching onwards, the Thecus range of networking solutions is ready for the multimedia-rich and cloud-centric operations of the future with 10Gb Ethernet.

Does anyone have any idea of the price? I've been wanting to upgrade to 10G ethernet for my storage server but the interface cards are too expensive. I'm waiting for a card to be less than $100 are preferably less than $80.

adding another 1GBE and teaming them up doesn't help?

Teaming doesn't scale very well... and even if you did a quad port and teamed them And it scaled perfectly (which it won't) that still gives you less than half of a single 10Gbe.

Still it is a cheap solution that at least does something.

Yes, but even still your max aggregate bandwidth would be 2Gbit under the best of conditions. 10Gbit would be more feasible for a SAN for the devices that can't tolerate 1Gbps access to your RAID. If your array can read at something like 350-400MB/s, you would never saturate that on 1Gbps reasonably (without teaming a ton of NICs together, which is unrealistic,).

In this case though, I wouldn't imagine there being a 10Gbit switch, just 10Gbit cards between the storage server and the other systems that demand full speed to storage... but even for two 10Gbps cards, you need 8 PCI-E lanes handy on each system and at least 1000 USD for the two cards.
