I have the same issue both with unicast and multicasting. The bottleneck doesn’t seem to be the HDD but the network. No matter how many computers i have hooked up, the combined transfer rate is always maxed out at 1gbps

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using this forum to help me build an imaging system for my company for the past several years and you have all been very helpful.

I work in the help desk and have managed the imaging for my company for the past several years (2k employees, +1000 machines for customer use).I recently decided it would be beneficial to upgrade from 1Gbps to 10Gbps as we sometimes need to image several dozen machines in a timely manner.

My (desktop) server is setup as an isolated network. All machines are on site and hands on when being imaged.

My server has a 10Gbps PCIe nic, and my switch (JUNIPER EX2300-48P) has a 10Gbps SFP+ uplink. Both the server and switch are detecting 10Gbps, however the computers I’m imaging are only pulling 1Gbps collectively (.25Gbps per machine if 4 are imaging)

My networking team is swamped and can’t afford the time to help me improve this system. I’m lost here and could use some advice.

Thank you all so much!
