In preparation for the IBTA’s upcoming Integrators’ List and April Plugfest, we wanted to give a quick recap of our last Plugfest, which included some great participants.
Every year, the IBTA hosts two Compliance and Interoperability Plugfests, one in April and one in October, at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Interoperability Lab (IOL) in Durham, New Hampshire. The Plugfest’s purpose is to provide an opportunity for participants to measure their products for compliance with the InfiniBand architecture Specifications as well as interoperability with other InfiniBand products.
This past October, we hosted our 26th Plugfest in New Hampshire. A total of 16 cable vendors participated, while our device vendors included Intel, Mellanox and NetApp. Test equipment vendors included Anritsu, Keysight (formerly Agilent) and Tektronix. Overall, 136 cables and 13 devices were tested, and the data is broken out below:
The Integrators’ List, a compilation of all the products tested and accepted to be compliant with the InfiniBand architecture specification, will go live in about a month, so stay tuned!
Plugfest #27 will take place from April 13 to April 24. The cable and device registration deadline is Wednesday, March 16, while the shipping deadline is Wednesday, April 1. Check out the IBTA website for additional information on the upcoming Plugfest.
