Sun Datacenter Switches are Business Ready

Marc Hamilton blogs on how Sun's HPC technologies are being adopted by the enterprise:

"Traditional High Performance Computing (HPC) customers continue to rapidly adopt the latest 40 GB/sec QDR InfiniBand technology delivered by the Sun InfiniBand Switch 648. Recently, Oracle put their weight behind Sun's QDR technology in Exadata v2, incorporating the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36. Today, Sun further expands our family of high performance fabrics offering with the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 72.

For the first time ever, the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 72 lets you aggregate up to 72 QDR 4x ports into a single 1RU switch and multiple switches can be combined to cost effectively link up to 576 servers. For larger clusters, the Sun InfiniBand Switch 648 supports up to 648 servers with a single switch, or up to 5184 servers in a full non-blocking fabric using eight 648 port switches.
