What is the supported port speed for cluster interconnect?

The supported port speed for cluster interconnect is 10GB, which is crucial for ensuring high bandwidth and low latency communication between nodes in a NetApp clustered environment. This port speed is designed to handle the demands of clustered storage systems, where rapid data transfer is necessary to maintain performance levels and support various features such as data replication, failover, and scaling out the cluster.

Using 10GB speeds allows for efficient utilization of resources and enhances the overall performance of the storage system. It provides a suitable balance between cost and performance, which is important for organizations looking to optimize their infrastructure without overspending on higher-tier speeds that may not be necessary for their specific use cases.

In addition, the choice of 10GB connectivity helps ensure compatibility with current technologies in many enterprise networks, making it a widely adopted standard for cluster interconnects in modern data centers.
