HP High Performance Computing InfiniBand Solutions

An integral component of an HP InfiniBand solution is the InfiniBand switch. The Voltaire Grid Director 4200 InfiniBand switch has leaf boards, power supply units, fan modules, management modules, and other field swappable devices to use, manage, and service the switch.

The HP InfiniBand network also includes the HCAs (host channel adapters). The HCAs have two form factors: one with standard PCI form factor for HP ProLiant DL and SL servers, and another with the mezzanine form factor for HP ProLiant BL server blades. The components that contain PCI or HCA cards are visible and manageable parts of your HP InfiniBand network. An HP HCA can be a single-port or dual-port PCI card or HP BladeSystem InfiniBand mezzanine HCA.
