Zyxel XS1920-12 10 Gigabit Switch Review

When testing this switch, we first of all check compatibility with cables and network adapters, evaluate the quality of the element base, speed and impact on latency between ports. When moving to a 10-gigabit network infrastructure, you are likely to come across two media: optical and copper. In the first case, these will most likely be backbone connections, and in the second, modern equipment, which usually has the 10Gbase-T standard. For these use cases, Zyxel has the XS1920, a 12-port ...

Intel Columbiaville: 800th series of network cards with 100G, ADQ and DP support

In the previous, 700th generation of network chips, Intel relied on simplicity and availability, so 40-Gigabit processors of the Fortville family did not have most of the hardware offloading mechanisms and were positioned as entry-level solutions. In the new series, Intel realized that network controllers in the modern world have more requirements than before, so the 800 series will first of all please those who were waiting for RDMA support (iWARP & RoCE V2). Intel has decided to reduce its ...

Intel's silicon Photonics leads to lower cost of 100G networks

For more than 10 years, Intel has been trumpeting the benefits of silicon Photonics, which has been under development for two decades. Intel itself has long adhered to the concept of unbundled computing and storage devices for data centers, combined through optics. During Intel Interconnect Day 2019, the company revealed that its silicon Photonics has grown from a lab project to a product ready to go to customers. For more than 10 years, Intel has been trumpeting the benefits of silicon ...
