Fiber Optic NIC
Hello,
I am looking for opinions on buying a good 1 - 10Gbps fiber card for my hyper-V server.
I will be hosting a Domain Controller, Exchange server, Web Server, and File server on 2.66Ghz Core i7, 16GB's DDR3, 2TB RAID 5 along with a few other VM's.
Right now I have two 1GB RJ-45 cards but I wanted to make a Hyper-V server with high availability/redundancy.
Side question: Do you think its a good idea to join a hyper-v server to the virtual domain that it hosts?
Thanks all,

Maybe I should just stick another card in my server and channel the ports on the switch, that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that.
I agree that 1gbps is 1gbps regardless of interface, I just want to use the fiber port on my switch because it's there.
