Would IBM "Dare To Compare" blade offerings more accurately? #3
"Dare to Compare" blade offerings Part 3 - the follow on to IBM's published competitive analysis of its
BladeCenter offerings versus blade products from HP, Dell, and Sun. We'd like to again make things clearer for another claim
where IBM is wrong about Sun Blades. We will share more of these IBM 'misrepresented truths' over the next few days ... so stay tuned.
IBM FUD:
Sun
doesn't offer an integrated InfiniBand switch. They only offer a
pass-through.
Sun Truth:
Sun does provide integrated InfiniBand switching in the Sun Blade
6048. In addition,
Sun offers the InfiniBand dual
port 4x Double Rate PCI-E Express Module and InfiniBand
dual port 4x DDR PCI-E low profile HCA for storage and network
connectivity. The Sun Infiniband 4x Express Module and HCA are
connected
through the chassis InfiniBand pass through module or external
switch.
