Oracle Sun Infiniband cards

[Donci]

Do Sun Infiniband adapters have Windows drivers? (Specifically Win10). And for that matter which infiniband adapter manufacturers provide win drivers? I would appreciate any help

what specific card?

 

Why not just go 10gbe? It has much better compatibilty and you can get switches for it.

It's also a matter of what he's going to be using it for.

If he's just using it for an internet connection and not local file transfers, then there's no reason not to use ethernet.

I dont know why the specific card would be important, I imagine if a a company makes win drivers for one they make them for the others too. A QDR card if that helps. And I'm just interested, latencys are very low and right now its cheaper per bandwidth. You could get FDR-14 for the price of rj-45 10Gbe (ok not quiet but fdr is 56Gb) and indeed there are switches. Pretty cheap actually 300 bucks for a 36port QDR switch (eBay)

the specific card does matter. Often some are sommported and some aren't

 

What are you doing?

 

10gbe is a much better solution for the home. and you won't see a benfit going to infinbadnd for the home.
