Twenty-five years have passed since the inception of the InfiniBand® Trade Association (IBTA). Established in August 1999 by industry leaders, the IBTA created a clear and accessible interconnect architecture standard to provide a highly efficient, high-performance, scalable RDMA fabric for data center interconnect. Today, InfiniBand and RoCE are the preferred choices for connecting large-scale AI data centers.| InfiniBand Trade Association
IBTA Releases Updated InfiniBand and RoCE Integrators List of Interoperable and Compliant Devices Demand for High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud infrastructures for compute and data intensive applications continues to grow while answering the call for faster interconnects to transfer massive amounts of data between servers and between servers and storage. To keep up with demand, the InfiniBand […]| RoCE Initiative
