how to calculate which switch will be correct for iSCSI

I plain to connect 10 servers to SAN via iSCSI. Network controller in
servers - 1GB (HP Proliant DL380-G5). In this moment i have switch HP
ProCurve Switch 2810-24G but i dont know, maybe it will be too slow ?

For Cisco switches there's a total bandwidth spec published. I forget what
it's called, maybe "aggregate" or "fabric" or "backplane" or something?
See if HP publishes a similar spec. That needs to be high enough to handle
ALL of your traffic across all ports at once.

don't believe that but if the bandwith per port is an issue just
aggregate them.
