The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I don't know costs as we run 3 1GB NICs but a gotcha might be spending money for no real gain. Are you currently running your current nics anywhere near 80% utilization? Do you store and send any large files in some burst method (like sending a 100GB CAD drawing stored in the IFS). If you are not using the 1GB bandwidth going to 10GB isn't going to get you better performance. And the path to the requestor would need to be 10GB all along the way.

Subject: 10GB Ethernet Cards
Hardware, and communications, are not my strong point...
However, I've been asked if we can go to 10GB Ethernet on our iSeries.
It is an M25 and we are at V7R1. We currently have two 1G Ethernet cards. We don't do any SNA (I hope.)
Couple of questions:
1) As far as I can tell, we have an 5706 IOA which will support 10GB.
If you know anything to the contrary, please tell.
2) What is a ball park price for a 10GB card for the iSeries.
3) Any "gotchas" come to mind?
Thanks, Sam
