What is the relationship between InfiniBand and Fibre Channel or Gigabit Ethernet?
InfiniBand Architecture is complementary to Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. InfiniBand architecture is uniquely positioned to become the I/O interconnect of choice for data center implementations. Networks such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel are expected to connect into the edge of the InfiniBand fabric and benefit from better access to InfiniBand architecture enabled compute resources. This will enable IT managers to better balance I/O and processing resources within an InfiniBand fabric.
