Low Total Cost Of Ownership to customer. Customer not locked in to one vendor. Support for Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB) ensures inter-operability with legacy Ethernet networks running IP protocol. Protects customer investment in Ethernet and helps them seamlessly migrate to IB networks. Support of RDMA and OS Bypass technologies significantly reduces memory copy overheads and improves CPU utilization. CPU has more cycles for compute-intensive operations and applications run with reduced latency, thereby improving overall system performance. The User Direct Access Programming Library (uDAPL) defines a set of single transport-independent, platform-independent Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for RDMA-capable transports. Reduce cost and porting effort, exploit the RDMA (remote direct memory access) capabilities of next-generation interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, the Virtual Interface Architecture and iWARP.
