QLogic provides InfiniBand for HPC environments

QLogic announced this week that this month that its QDR InfiniBand adapters have been chosen by IBM, Dell and HP for high-performance computing (HPC) environments. Specifically, IBM will integrate QLogic’s 7300 Series 40Gb/sec. QDR (quad-data rate) InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) into its IBM System X servers and the company’s iDataPlex solution. Dell will also integrate the HCAs with its PowerEdge servers and Precision workstations into HPC environments. Finally, HP will resell QLogic’s HCAs and its edge and director-level InfiniBand switches with both its ProLiant and BladeSystem c-Class servers and also offer them as part of the company’s HPC United Cluster portfolio.
