Topspin InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter - network adapter - 2 ports

• Manufacturer: IBM
• Part number: 26K6457
• Description: InfiniBand is recognized as an industry-standard fabric for creating clusters that address High Performance Computing (HPC) requirements such as those found in scientific, technical and financial applications. The InfiniBand high-bandwidth fabric permits high-speed interconnection between cluster servers to enable fast performance. Now, the Topspin IB Switch Module for IBM eServer BladeCenter and the Topspin IB Host Channel Adapter Expansion Card for IBM eServer BladeCenter enable organizations to leverage the InfiniBand standard to create HPC solutions based on cost-effective BladeCenter blade clusters. BladeCenter with the InfiniBand switch solution delivers a potent combination of exceptionally high-connection bandwidth and extremely low node-to-node latency. As a result, a BladeCenter cluster with the InfiniBand switch solution can, in some cases, deliver performance comparable to a single, high-end, monolithic server - at a fraction of the cost.
