For the first time ever, 25GbE port speeds are now available on IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers.
This provides significantly more efficient and flexible utilization for not only top switch I/O (input/output) performance and fabric capability, but also for PCIe Lanes.
The cloud industry as it relates to data center networking and ethernet connectivity has been evolving upgrade paths little by little, year by year, for quite some time now. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that 10GbE was unheard of. I remember being shocked at the availability output that 10GbE could deliver at the time. And then cloud computing trends spiked — as did our needs for faster data delivery and better bandwidth performance.
Why choose 25GbE for your IBM Cloud Bare Metal Server? Simply put, it’s cost-effective, power-efficient and delivers higher bandwidth — three wins that are ideal for web scaling and enterprise-grade cloud design.
