AN-02
Conclusion
10GBASE-T with its ability to be used with all standard data center topologies (ToR, EoR, and MoR) is well suited for
widespread usage in today’s data centers. It simplifies data center infrastructures by providing the highest architectural
flexibility for new data centers and the easiest upgrade path for existing data centers. By offering both sufficient reach and
bandwidth, 10GBASE-T meets the demands of virtualized and ever flattening networks. Building on its tried and true BASE-T
legacy, 10GBASE-T will also offer the lowest cost of deployment as adoption rates increase, power consumption continues
to fall and LOM becomes widespread. In summary, the combination of reliability, flexibility, backward compatibility,
cost- effectiveness, ease of use and a 100 meter reach makes 10GBASE-T an ideal choice for next generation networks.
