Upgrading servers to run on 10Gbe

Hello Networkineers,

I recently replaced all our network from dumb switches to EdgeSwitches and now I'm looking to move our Hyper-V setup from multiple 1Gbe links to 10Gbe. I'm looking at the EdgeSwitch ES-16-XG and researching which SFP modules I'll need and what SFP+ PCIe NICs I'll need to achieve this.

We have 4 Hyper-V servers. I'll continue to utilise the 1Gbe ports afterwards to plug into one of our older switches for Hyper-V replication/backup.

Happy to be suggested alternatives. I'm only suggesting the EdgeSwitch gear to keep is consistent in my documentation and configuration. I'm in Australia so everything is 50% more expensive because reasons.
