Overview The Internet Data Center is central to the success of Internet-based companies, whether the business focus is an E-portal, E-Commerce, or Business-to-Business. There are huge productivity gains that can be recognized by moving customer and supplier transactions on-line. As a result, the Internet Data Center has become critical to the profitability of traditional brick and mortar companies. In order to keep up with the unprecedented growth in the Internet, companies have been driven to develop the infrastructure of the Internet Data Center in a rather organic and ad hoc fashion (which has unfortunately resulted in inefficiencies and at times chaos). InfiniBand has been developed specifically to address the needs of the modern Internet Data Center and will radically change the nature of systems being deployed in the buildout of the Internet infrastructure and greatly improve RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Scalability).
