Forget 10G, look at Juniper’s [first] 100G Ethernet adapter!

At a time when 10 Gigabit Ethernet is making inroads into the data center, Juniper Networks is looking to the next step.
Juniper is unveiling out what officials say is the world’s first 100GbE adapter, which will be delivered the company’s T1600 Core Router later this year.
Juniper officials, who announced the product June 8, said such data center trends as virtualization, cloud computing, consolidation and Web 2.0 applications—such as video and wireless services—are driving the need for more speed and capacity in the networks. The same drivers that are fueling the demand for 10GbE also will be the ones pushing the need for 100GbE, according to Opher Kahane, senior vice president and general manager of Juniper’s high-end systems business unit.
“[100GbE] has always been inevitable, it has just been a question of when,” Kahane said in a statement. “Now trends such as cloud computing, data center consolidation and virtualization are making the need for [100GbE] more acute and urgent than ever before.”
Juniper officials said the 100GbE router interface card will enable enterprises and service providers to run their network-intensive applications now and prepare them for the eventual advent of 100GbE.

Yup…I have been using Ethernet over Powerline for a few years now and I love it. It allows my Xbox 360, HTPC and Roku Soundbridge to stream without issues. I tried an HD program via Netflix and it worked perfectly…pretty nice and stable.
