The network connection is one of the most important parts of any server. Ideally, your server should have at least two network interfaces. Additional network interfaces not only improve the performance of your server, but also make it more reliable: If one of the network interfaces should fail, the others can pick up the ball.

If possible, the server’s network interfaces should be 10 Gbps interfaces. Then, you can use 10 Gbps switches to connect the servers to each other and to your access switches. With many users contending for access to the servers simultaneously, 1 Gbps interfaces can easily become a performance-limiting bottleneck.
