As Brad Anderson suggested a few times this year we are leading our businesses to a better IT future.

One host (older model, no 10Gbps yet, running Windows 2008 R2) is sending backups over its dedicated 1Gbps interface to this media agent server who has a 10Gbps interface. Performance and traffic looks great . I love it when a plan comes together!
