Why is the InfiniBand Architecture important?
Enterprise applications such as customer relationship management, database, virtualization, and web services as well as key vertical markets such as financial services, insurance services, and retail demand the highest possible performance from their computing systems. In addition, high-performance applications such as bioscience and drug research, data mining, digital rendering, electronic design automation, fluid dynamics, and weather analysis also require high-performance message passing and I/O to accelerate multiple processes that each require access to large datasets to compute and store results. The combination of 40Gb/s InfiniBand interconnect solutions and servers based on multi-core processors delivers optimum performance to meet these challenges.
