Infortrend storage systems now come with super-speed host interface support for 56 Gb/s InfiniBand, 40 Gb/s iSCSI, and 4 x 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel ports to deliver optimum bandwidth and throughput for resource intensive and mission critical applications such as high-performance computing, media editing, and big data analytics.
Featuring high bandwidth for high throughput and low latency, InfiniBand is a networking communications standard used in high-performance computing (HPC) such as data centers and big data applications. It is utilized as a data interconnect within computers, a direct or switched interconnect between servers and storage, as well as an interconnect between storage systems.
InfiniBand is increasingly used in data centers and HPC as it drives the most aggressive performance roadmap among I/O fabric infrastructures. iSCSI targets enterprise data center, cloud and big data applications requiring high-performance SAN-based storage. FC ports enable high throughput to support the most demanding virtualization applications.
Infortrend storage systems now provide flexible super-speed host interface support for 56Gb/s InfiniBand, 40Gb/s iSCSI and 4 x 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports to meet the bandwidth and throughput requirements by resource intensive and mission critical applications.
