I want to know, what components I need to build an esxi enviroment with infiniband components.
When two esxi 5.1 hosts are connect to a infinband switch (mellonoc or intel qlogic) , how is th infinband connect to an cisco switch or other Switch vendor. This means the ethernet switch most have uplinks for infiniband and for 10 or 40 Gigabit to the core switch (cisco), so that the workstaion can communicate to the servers. Allthough this means the switch which is connect to infiniband and ethernet translate the the protocols infiniband to ethernet and vice versa?
.
Is it possible to use infiniband over two location about 40 KM away?
