InfiniBand Technology Leadership
Industry Standard• Hardware, software, cabling, management• Design for clustering and storage interconnect
Price and Performance• 40Gb/s node-to-node• 120Gb/s switch-to-switch• 1us application latency• Most aggressive roadmap in the industry
Reliable with congestion management Efficient
• RDMA and Transport Offload• Kernel bypass• CPU focuses on application processing
Scalable for Petascale computing & beyond
End-to-end quality of service Virtualization acceleration I/O consolidation Including storage InfiniBand Delivers the Lowest Latency
