From NIC to Lan On Motherboard (LOM)

1. LOM removes the cost barrier to adopt 10G On servers. 2. Server vendors require LOM to be backward compa>ble,hence LOMs should support: Interoperate with 100/1000/10000 switches Support RJ45 cabling infrastructure 3. 10GBASE–‐T meets these requirements and is the PHY of choice for 10G LOM ENPAK DWDM transceiver

Two Visions of the Future

1. If 10GE is not redefined and remains uneconomical at 300 meters, then 40GE solutions will be considered high value and can cannibalize the 10GE market. 40GE will fill the bandwidth gap in large data centers and drive bandwidth to the 100GE core. 2. If...

Why 40GE?

•Because it is here at the physical layer and can be here sooner than 100G •Because it fits the needs of the customer better than a 10X jump – Most cost conscience customers can’t afford to come to these meetings and ask for 40GE! •...
