Links of different speeds can exist on the same VDS

I have a group of hosts, each with 2 10 ports and 1 4 ports.  We have recently added the infrastructure rather than use the ports of 10G and I wrestle 2 options for migration:

(1) put in place a new VDS for 10 G ports and then migrate the groups of ports, or

(2) add 10 G ports to the current group of ports and make.  However, it will mean that the VDS will be ports 10 G and 1 G on it.  It sticks through them send me a 24 GB of theoretical bandwidth?

If it is technically possible to create a single pool of uplinks with joint port speeds, it is not a good idea. You can, however, build a port channel with a joint port speeds.

A pair of 10 GbE ports should be more than enough for the large number of use cases. You can also use a pair of 1 GbE ports for the ESXi if desired or required, management traffic but that means increased complexity and the consumption of upstream port wiring.
