               If you want to
                build up with Viatta.

                And this give you the possibility to have a fully
                feature OS.

                What kind of hardware would you use to build up a
                switch?

              
            Hard to beat the Quanta T3048-LY2, 48 10 gig,
              4 40 gig. Same chip as Cisco, Dell, HP, etc. Like I said,
              merchant silicon and white box switches are the wave of
              the future. You can use Quanta OS or what I recommend is
              get one with the ONIE bootloader, then you can put Cumulus
              software on it for more features of if you much more
              daring flash it with BigSwitch and go OpenFlow.  
              

    BigSwitch is better than Viatta or just something different?

    I'm building a OpenStack+Ceph solutions, than BigSwitch seems to fit
    more.

    About the Quanta that you suggest... whell WOW!

    I see also the top solution: T5032-LY6 and even this one is
    affordable (just $7200).

    About Infiniband, what kind of "white" switch would you suggest?

    
    Thank you Nathan for share
