Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36

A High Performance Data Switch for Enterprise Applications
Oracle's Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 binds Oracle's Sun Blade and Sun Fire servers and storage systems into a highly scalable, space-efficient 36-node cluster. It can also be used as a leaf switch in larger InfiniBand fabrics. Its low cost and low-latency Quad Data Rate (QDR) performance are a boost for clustered databases, data warehousing, high performance computing (HPC), converged data center fabrics and high performance storage.

Key Applications

Clustered databases
Converged data center fabrics
Commercial HPC compute clusters
High performance storage
Data Warehouse
