[OpenIndiana-discuss] Using a SAN on OpenIndiana

[Jason Matthews]

i recommend 40Gb infiniband. oi has no support for management so you'll need switch. used fear is cheap on ebay. 

infiniband is generally cheaper than 10Gb ether on a per port basis and from a latency perspective there is comparison. 

stock exchanges dont use 10Gb ether, they use infiniband.
