Protect your Intel Nehalem Investment with Voltaire QDR Switches
Voltaire’s InfiniBand QDR Switches, which offer speeds up to 40Gb/s per port and the industry's lowest latency at 100ns, are the best way to gain maximal scalability when building an Intel Nehalem-based cluster.
These Intel diagrams illustrate the impact of powerful CPUs on overall scalability – if they are bound by slow networks, scalability may suffer. Using Voltaire InfiniBand QDR as the fabric connecting the Nehalem based server is the best way to achieve maximal scalability.
