Re: Virtual desktop.

Thank you for that explanation. So even if the ports are configured for
100MB, and the desktops have 100MB adapters, if it is a decent GB switch
than it shouldn't be an issue, right?

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Rob, It has more to do with latency than anything else. The gig switches almost eliminate latency inside a corporate network and if you have say 12 developers all on the same switch, (the situation I had) then the switch becomes the constraint. A Gb switch eliminated the issue and all was well. If your switching equipment is newer, and has sufficient memory/backplane capacity, you won't have an issue. You'll find the network running at very low usage, until everyone refreshes the screen at one time......
