Ethernet is a standard that people arent going to give up, says Steve Modica, CTO of Small Tree Communications. Every motherboard today has an ethernet chip built-in. Its cheap, reliable, and extremely cost-effective. Compare that to fibre channel, which needs expensive network cards and switches to operate. The Small Tree shared storage solution leverages Dakotas existing ethernet investment to provide more than adequate performance for their video editing needs.
