Servers are almost always built with all the internal components very compact. When designing the average data center saving space is a key goal. With this in mind, utilization of 25G NICs is an excellent option, even over 40G, as these cards are slim and save a good deal of space. This also introduces the capability of backwards compatibility with 10G networks should the need arise.

Instituting 25G NICs opens several options including the use of 10G/25G/100G or 10G/25G/50G/100G connections. This opportunity is a good choice if you are looking for a pay as you grow model or if you already have these speeds established in your network. As Intel NICs are compatible with a wide range of servers, our GigaTech Products 25G optics and cabling solutions allow network engineers to maximize the full capabilities of this technology.
