Hi,

I'm looking for a Xilinx Virtex 6 based dev. board, (with PCIe and SFP
connectors for 10G Ethernet). Other than Hitech Global, what other
suppliers are there? You suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.

Avnet?
 
The Avnet-designed Virtex-6 LX130T Evaluation Kit is no longer
available. The ML605 has PCIe and SFP.

Thanks, the ML605 might be a good starting point. I should have been
more specific, SFP+ is what is needed for 10G, and the ML605 doesn't
have that.

It looks like there are not a lot of Virtex-6 off the shelf board
suppliers out there.

What about the Altera Stratix IV, does it have a larger supplier base?

There's the Terasic DE4 board <http://tinyurl.com/5uvky9r> which you can
combine with this mezzanine card: <http://tinyurl.com/6dov782>

In order to interface with a 10G SFP+ module you will need a board
that uses the Virtex-6 HXT family. Xilinx did not release Virtex-6
HXT board with both PCIe and SFP+ capabilities.
