Hello, We have started looking into some used inifiniband hardware to up our network from the typical gigabit ethernet to the 10gigabit infiniband stuff. Im curious to hear from anyone that has maybe done this or has been able to see how much of a performance gain there is. My primary interest would be in a replicated setup (5 or so clients and 2 data servers). Our use would be web files and/or mail possibly, both i guess are small files. We are also however looking into building xen servers, and looking at designs for do we stick images on local disks or try nas/san solutions, try glusterfs for this maybe? Thanks!
