10GbE iWARP Deployment with Clustercorp Rocks+: Solution Brief
Solution Brief for Intel® Cluster Ready: NetEffect™ Server Cluster Adapters Clustercorp Rocks+*
The Simpler Path to LEADING-EDGE Clusters: 10GbE iWARP Deployment Made Simple with Rocks+*
Organizations seeking to deploy high-performance computing clusters now have the means to reduce cost and risk. Intel® Cluster Ready solutions based on Clustercorp Rocks+* and 10GbE iWARP-enabled NetEffect™ Server Cluster Adapters from Intel deliver a simplified approach to selecting, deploying, and operating clusters.
The solutions achieve excellent performance over Ethernet fabrics using low-latency iWARP technology while also benefiting from fast provisioning and robust management. Automated software installation and centralized updating help achieve efficiencies throughout the solution life cycle, and passing application and management traffic over a single fabric simplifies the network topology, further reducing costs.
High Performance and Simplicity from Low-Latency iWARP Technology
Because Ethernet networks are ubiquitous, high manufacturing volumes help make them extremely cost-effective. While that advantage alone makes the use of Ethernet fabrics for high-performance computing cluster traffic very attractive, there were two primary challenges.
First, this era of high-performance multicore servers creates the need for network bandwidth higher than 1 Gigabit (1GbE is standard on most servers today). Fortunately, the broad availability of 10GbE network components provided a solution.
Second, standard Ethernet cannot meet the stringent network-latency requirements of cluster computing applications. That challenge is addressed by iWARP, which specifies standard extensions to TCP/IP for effective RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) transport. NetEffect Server Cluster Adapters from Intel implement iWARP technology to enable high performance on a standards based, cost-effective Ethernet fabric.
