Is it possible to cover with the widespread spread of INFINIBAND, which is lost, dominance in the lost bands, dominance in latency, and high cost?
Until the last time, INFINIBAND was working hard on the main battlefield with HPC markets, using high speed and low latency, but it was clear that it would get stuck early and late.
INFINIBAND had an advantage in terms of performance such as bands and latency compared to "now" Ethernet, but for Ethernet, "ROCE (RDMA Over Converted Ethernet)" and "Iwarp Wide Area"RDMA Protocol)" "" ", and it was particularly effective in the viewpoint of reduction of latency.
In the bandwidth, it was seen that the INFINIBAND advantage was lost in a situation where transition from 100g Ethernet to 200/400g Ethernet would occur.
On the other hand, since the Infiniband market is mainly limited to HPC, the shipment is not so large, and cost reduction due to mass production effects cannot be expected.On the other hand, e -seret is used in almost all areas other than HPC, and it can be expected to reduce costs due to mass production effects.
In this case, from the viewpoint of cost competitiveness, it was a matter of time that INFINIBAND could not compete with Ethernet.
