SBS Technologies and Sky Computers have demonstrated interconnected 10Gbit/s InfiniBand architecture products that improve reliability, availability and scalability for the embedded market.

The products each contribute innovative technologies that are fuelling the growth of InfiniBand technology in high-performance embedded computing applications.

The demonstration connects the SBS 10Gbit/s dual-port InfiniBand PMC card and an SBS 24-port switch to Sky's Smartpac 600 and 1200 servers.

Also shown is the InfiniBand 12x or 30Gbit/s switching capability that is included in Mellanox's new third-generation InfiniBand silicon, the InfiniScale III.

The new products build on a portfolio of InfiniBand-based products suited to solve a broad range of signal processing and high-performance embedded computing needs.

The fundamental building blocks for many solutions - data acquisition, switching, and computing - are available today and are tightly integrated through a high-performance, resilient and scalable InfiniBand fabric.
