Sponsored Moving more bits across a copper wire or optical cable at a lower cost per bit shifted has been the dominant driver of datacenter networking since distributed systems were first developed ...

The InfiniBand spec is designed to support three full-duplex, bidirectional link speeds of 1´ (2.5-Gbps, four-pin interface), 4´ (10-Gbps, 16-pin interface), or 12´ (30-Gbps, 48-pin interface) across ...

Back in 2005 we all knew that Fibre Channel and Ethernet would eventually support transmission rates of 10 Gbit/s and above and now in 2010 that day has pretty much dawned on us. In the excitement of ...

Try as it may, Ethernet cannot kill InfiniBand. For the foreseeable future, the very high-end of the server, storage, and database cluster spaces will need a network interconnect that can deliver the ...

Before you mark this as “just another Infiniband press release,” you might want to reconsider. I had the pleasure of speaking with Phil Murphy this week, VP of QLogic’s Network Solutions Group. The ...

InfiniBand is on its way to becoming a mainstream switch fabric. The key to implementing InfiniBand is its switch nodes, the individual nodes that make up the warp and woof of the interconnection ...

Last year saw the announcement of the InfiniBand switch architecture. Engineers now need to test their InfiniBand designs. With this in mind, Agilent's E2950 series of test instruments helps users ...

In this video, Dr. David Southwell from Obsidian Strategics discusses conventional InfiniBand technology and goes on to describe how the company’s Longbow, Crossbow and Bowman devices enable what is ...

The HDMP-2840 InfiniBand switch chip sports eight, full-duplex ports each running at 10 Gbps. Integrating 32 serdes/PHY chips, the chip sports a 20-KB inputbuffer per port and a 5-KB output buffer per ...
