The document discusses trends driving adoption of 10GbE in data centers. Key points include: - IP traffic is doubling every two years and will be 75 times larger by 2012, driving need for higher network bandwidth. - Server virtualization and consolidation require more I/O bandwidth per server. Growth of network storage also increases bandwidth demand. - Intel is delivering a broad portfolio of 10GbE adapters to address these trends, including new 10GBASE-T and direct attach solutions. Features like Virtual Machine Device Queues improve performance in virtualized environments.
