ADVA Optical Networking, Obsidian Strategics Inc. and Voltaire Ltd. today announced an integrated capability to extend InfiniBand connections to 50km without performance degradation. The solution was successfully tested at the University of Stuttgart’s High Performance Computing Center (HLRS), which provides systems, tools and expertise for public and private supercomputing development projects.
Today, InfiniBand is primarily used as a high-performance fabric interconnect for linking a cluster’s compute nodes within a high-performance data center. Until now, use of InfiniBand for wide area networks has been restricted, due to the inability to transport native InfiniBand traffic over large distances.
