InfiniBand® Roadmap
The IBTA has announced an updated roadmap that was researched and developed as a collaborative effort from the various IBTA workgroups; members of the IBTA include leading enterprise IT vendors who are actively contributing to the advancement of InfiniBand. The roadmap shows projected increased market demand for InfiniBand 1x QDR, 4x DDR, 8x DDR and 12x DDR beyond 2011, which translates to bandwidths nearing 1000 Gb/s in the next three years.
For vendors with a stake in the interconnect business, the roadmap provides a vendor-neutral outline for the progression of InfiniBand so that they may plan their product development accordingly. For enterprise and high-performance computing end users, the roadmap provides specific milestones around expected improvements to ensure their InfiniBand investment is protected.
