Another option, if they are going to buy the arista switch, they could use: http://www.intel.com/Products/Server/Adapters/esa-x520-t2/ethernet-esa-x520-... This is a 10GigBase-T adapter and cat6a or cat7 cables, which are even cheaper.

You probably don't want the XF adapter. Intel model E10G41BFSR for single port SR or E10G42BFSR for dual port should work well for you. If you are within 5 meters (or 10 meters if this card supports - need to research) you can use the E10G42AFDA card and save the money you would spend on optics.

We're looking to add 10Gb cards to our OSOL Bambi boxes here at the Pru. I was hoping someone could look this card over and let me know if it will get the job done:

The mobo on the OSOL machines has a PCI-Express 2.0 8x expansion slot. Fiber here would be 10G multimode.
Here's is a two port card for comparison:
