Fast InfiniBand cards for your IOPS-hungry applications

InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) deliver high bandwidth and ultra-low latency for compute-intensive workloads, but there are equally powerful alternatives—depending on your use case and infrastructure.

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a proven choice for storage networks in data-center and server environments. SAS controllers provide fast point-to-point links with high throughput, ideal for accessing large storage pools. The latest 24G SAS standard offers improved performance and scalability.
Fibre Channel (FC) is another option for high-performance storage networking. With speeds up to 128 Gbit/s, FC ensures reliable, loss-free data transfer—especially in SAN deployments. Compared with InfiniBand, Fibre Channel offers greater stability and is optimized for mission-critical enterprise applications.
Ethernet keeps advancing. Technologies like RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) and iWARP deliver low latency and high throughput, while 100 G and 400 G Ethernet provide scalable, cost-efficient solutions for modern data centers—especially when combined with NVMe-over-TCP for high-speed storage.

Choosing the right technology depends on your specific requirements—whether that’s performance, cost, or compatibility with your existing infrastructure.
