Hi jmarglois, I thought I send you a note, perhaps it went wrong... Anyway, I'm very interested in the solution your customers went with. Perhaps also some information regarding how satisfied they are and what performance/stability they reach. Thanks a lot.

ok. I think that the best way is to go with IB adapters on Layer 1 to connect to switches and beneath (layer 2), and ethernet adapters to connect to internet etc. Thanks

thanks, did not know. But they are very expensive. I save 60% if i build myself....

hmmm.... that sounds like $$$ involved. My current switches only have IB ports (topspin 120 = cisco). Can i build a custom bridge e.g. - quadcore cpu -4Gb ram -2 X 10GB connections per IB switch -1 x 10g ethernet per cluster switch - running pfsense??? Or some other solution around Euro...

Hi All, I have 2 layers of clusters. Layer 1 has front-end clusters (multiple) which use gigabit. Layer 2 use a distributed file-system so support all Layer 1 clusters. The Layer 2 nodes need to be very fast connected to each other. For that i will use 2 x Infiniband (10GB/s) for each node to...

C32 are very slow.... i think i will pay more and go for dual G34.... and make use of cheap reg ecc ram (of which 16GB dimms are available). I cannot seem to find a brand (IBM, Dell, HP....) which has a 1U dual G34 rack server.....seems like i have to build one

Thanks for the ecc conform. The FX cpu itself seems to support ecc / non-ecc reg/non-reg memory. Sadly no server mobo's have been developed for Am3+ and reg memory support. Because there are a lot affordable 16GB ecc dimms, but registered. I could only find 1 unbuffered 16GB dimm which is...

Hi all. I want to build a server for virtualization: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 with AMD CPU FX8350 This board seems to support ECC memory :) Officially Asus states 32GB support. But the memory controller is build in the cpu.... And the FX series seems to support 64GB memory. So my questions is...
