vmware and petasan connection recommended

Do you have any recommendations for iscsi connection between host vmware and petasan?
 Why use 10G card

1G is likely sufficient to make the connection to VMware, assuming it is dedicated and not shared by the management or VM network.

10G+ is probably recommended for PetaSAN node to node connections because replication takes a lot of bandwidth and is latency-sensitive.

EDIT: The 1G comment is wholly dependent on your specific use case. Mine, for example, is a few VMs with a small number of users (@50). Your mileage may vary.
