SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
New NICs and switches in 2016 are supporting 25, 50, and 100GbE networking speedsf, in addition to traditional 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet. Analysts predict 25GbE will be adopted more rapidly than any other Ethernet speed standard. These new Ethernet speeds accelerate performance of software-defined storage including Ceph and various hyperconverged infrastructure solutions. Learn how 25, 40, 50, and 100Gb Ethernet increases the performance and lowers the cost of software-defined storage deployments. Learning Objectives Understand how 25, 50, and 100GbE network links work Learn why 25GbE adoption is projected to be faster than any other Ethernet speed See how 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE links accelerate Ceph See how 25, 40, and 50GbE links accelerate hyperconverged infrastructure Understand how 25, 50 and 100GbE networking lowers the cost of storage deployments
