In visual effects, there is need to transfer around massive data sets.

In visual effects, there is need to transfer around massive data sets. WE have found that 1 Gbps Ethernet just doens't cut it, but right now 10 Gbps Ethernet solution are just too expensive for now, or require specialized cables (fiber optics). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-gigabit_Ethernet I would really like those prices to come down and also to use just regular CAT cables. Right now it seems that the switch to faster than 1 Gbps networking is just too costly and not easily incremental (because of the switch to optical generally.) PS. There is 10GBASE-T but I think there is zero adoption or promotion of this substandard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-gigabit_Ethernet#10GBASE-T
