1) InfiniBand is an industry standard channel-based architecture that provides high-speed, low-latency interconnects for distributed computing infrastructures. 2) It combines networks into a unified fabric that collectively routes data between host nodes and network peripherals, reducing required adapters and cables and lowering total cost of ownership. 3) InfiniBand is supported by multiple vendors and is well-suited for applications that require high bandwidth, low latency, and low processor overhead such as high performance computing, databases, and heavily interconnected servers.
