Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced the availability of high-bandwidth, low-latency InfiniBand (IB) connectivity solutions for its SuperBlade(TM) and high-performance computing (HPC) product lines. Both the Supermicro AOC-UINF-M2 Universal I/O (UIO) network adapters and SuperBlade integrated switch and Mezzanine IB solutions are based on Mellanox(R) Technologies, Ltd. (Nasdaq: MLNX; TASE: MLNX) controllers for industry-leading 20Gb/s InfiniBand I/O performance.

Very cool, further improving the connectivity for the SuperBlade should bring new applications and possibilities to the platform, at the same time showing continued innovation in the blade server, which has to be good for the platform and the industry. I wonder if these blades with the new connectivity might be great for a hpc/data caching solution?
