Voltaire OFED and WinOF Support

Voltaire OFED Support

Voltaire offers an easily installable binary form of the Open Fabric Alliance’s Open Fabric Enterprise Distribution (OFED) along with the most recently available fixes and patches that have been discovered during the Voltaire testing and certification process. All such fixes and enhancements to OFED are continually contributed back to the OpenFabrics developer community so they may be used in future versions of OFED.

The OFED drivers include enterprise-grade features including Quality of Service (QoS) management capabilities that enable unified LAN, IPC and SAN applications over the same wire and integration of the Reliable Datagram Service (RDS) protocol which enhances performance of Oracle 11g RAC.
