We're deploying FAS6070s with 2 x Active\ 2 x Passive 10GbE Single Mode, multi-level VIFs (Etherchannel) per head for VMWare over NFS. Looks good so far, so I'll let the group know how this turns out...
FWIW, I have the same concerns over CPU, but I'm hedging my bets that the FAS6070s are such beasts that they won't really care.

We use 2 x FAS6080 with redundant 10GE in a VIF single mode. They are connected to Force10 C300 switches.
We generated up to 4Gbit of CIFS traffic and everything works well.

Hi all
Reading on superior results reached in certaing environment (NetApp NFS with Oracle ad example) I'm looking for some direct experience and informations about performances, benchmarks, infrastructure used - I mean also exactly model and brand of switches :-) - and so on. So that, more on the relatively new world of 10 Gbps networks.
Does anyone direct experience? Are you using it in your site?
Thanks in advance
