What is InfiniBand?

Infiniband is a high-speed, low-latency networking technology commonly used in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It is designed to connect servers, storage systems, and network devices, providing much faster data transfer rates than traditional Ethernet. Infiniband supports scalable bandwidth and efficient communication, which makes it ideal for applications requiring rapid data movement, such as scientific simulations and large-scale database transactions. Its architecture also supports remote direct memory access (RDMA), which further reduces latency and CPU overhead.
