IBEx InfiniBand Product Family
InfiniBand is quickly becoming the preferred technology for connecting high performance computing and mass storage resources in converged data center network infrastructures. While InfiniBand provides many benefits within the data center, the challenge has been how to use InfiniBand for linking together geographically distributed data centers to form a single unified network infrastructure for sharing compute and storage resources. Until now, InfiniBand's inherent distance limitations due to inadequate port buffering have made it unsuitable for deployment between multiple geographically distributed sites.
The Intelligent Bandwidth Exchange (IBEx™) InfiniBand WAN acceleration product family utilizes Bay Microsystems’ proprietary packet and transport processing technology along with enhanced credit buffering and end-to-end flow control to reliably extend native InfiniBand over campus, metro, and wide area networks spanning from just a few miles to thousands of miles. This capability enables IT managers to maintain protocol continuity beyond a single site to virtually anywhere around the globe without the need to modify existing applications or the local InfiniBand network.
