Looks like you can get 100Gb NICs for servers e.g. https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/product-catalog/servers/server-adapters/pip.hpe-100gb-1-port-op101-qsfp28-x8-pcie-

Looks like you can get 100Gb NICs for servers e.g.
https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/product-catalog/servers/server-adapters/pip.hpe-100gb-1-port-op101-qsfp28-x8-pcie-gen3-with-intel-omni-path-architecture-adapter.1008830960.html https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/product-catalog/servers/server-ada... (Intel, Mellanox etc also seem to have their own)
On the distance, there are other specs that support 100Gb up to 20km on there!
- ericd 9y agoHaha for when you need another DC that's sort of across town, or you're trying to add artificial latency intra DC with enormous coils of fiber. Not too unreasonably expensive - roughly in line with a GeForce 1080, and that's after the Official HP Hardware markup. I wonder how much the switch/cabling is...
- penagwin 9y ago> trying to add artificial latency intra DC with enormous coils of fiber. Do people really do this?! (I don't have DC experience, serious question)
- ericd 9y agoHeh like the peers said, it was a reference to what IEX does.
- snowwindwaves 9y agoAt least one stock exchange has: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEX https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEX
- Dylan16807 9y agoI believe that's a reference to IEX's magic shoebox. 61 kilometers of cable that provide 350 microseconds of delay for stock market voodoo purposes.
- walrus01 9y agoThere are Intel chipset single and dual port 100GbE pci-express 3.0 NICs with good Linux kernel support in v4.8+.
- shaklee3 9y agoWhere do you see an Intel 100gbe nic? Edit: I think you're referring to omnipath. Should be clear than Intel has no 100gbe card available. That link is also pcie3x8, so it can do a max of ~60gbps to host.
