InfiniBand in the Enterprise Data Center
Overview InfiniBand is a high-speed server-interconnect technology that is specified and maintained by the InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA). Through use of Host Channel Adapters (HCA) and Switches, InfiniBand Technology is used to connect servers with remote storage and networking devices, and other servers. It can also be used inside servers for Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) in parallel clusters. SDR and DDR versions of HCAs and Switches available in the market today can reach 10Gb/s and 20Gb/s data rates with end-to-end latency of lower than 3 microseconds. Today's data centers need an agile infrastructure that incorporates ongoing improvements in computer, storage, networking, and application technologies, and empowers IT to support changing business processes.
