We don't have a back to back 10Gb connection, but we do have 3 1Gb servers
going into a foundry switch, which has a private 10Gb connection to our TSM
server. We achieve 1590Mb/sec. 6 TSM image backups streaming, two from
each server, going directly to 3592 drives. P5 - 570 TSM server, does not
break a sweat, and I'm sure more is possible.
