Not enough is said about front- or back-end InfiniBand storage, but fear not! Interesting article just came out from Dave Raffo at SearchStorage.com that I think is worth spreading through the InfiniBand community. I have a quick summary below but be sure to also check out the full article: "Health care system [...]

InfiniBand is largely thought of as a high-performance interconnect for large, TOP500-like HPC systems. It certainly is, but InfiniBand's high bandwidth, low-latency capabilities are also useful across many vertical industries including financial services. A lot of us will be attending ISC'09 in Hamburg, but InfiniBand will also be in the spotlight at [...]
