What is Infiniband Network

Chapter 8
Handbook of Research on Cloud Infrastructures for Big Data Analytics
A high-speed switched fabric network. In SQL Server PDW, Infiniband is used for private communication inside a SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) appliance. InfiniBand delivers 40 GB/Second connectivity with application-to-application latency as low as 1 µ Second has become a dominant fabric for high performance enterprise clusters. Its ultra-low latency and near zero CPU utilization for remote data transfers make InfiniBand ideal for high performance clustered applications.

Abstract
NoSQL databases are designed to meet the huge data storage requirements of cloud computing and big data processing. NoSQL databases have lots of advanced features in addition to the conventional RDBMS features. Hence, the “NoSQL” databases are popularly known as “Not only SQL” databases. A variety of NoSQL databases having different features to deal with exponentially growing data-intensive applications are available with open source and proprietary option. This chapter discusses some of the popular NoSQL databases and their features on the light of CAP theorem.

Infiniband is a switched fabric computer network communications link used in high-performance computing and enterprise data centers. A high-speed switched fabric network. In SQL Server PDW, Infiniband is used for private communication inside a SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) appliance. InfiniBand delivers 40 GB/Second connectivity with application-to-application latency as low as 1 µSecond has become a dominant fabric for high performance enterprise clusters. Its ultra-low latency and near zero CPU utilization for remote data transfers make InfiniBand ideal for high performance clustered applications. The features of Infiniband network are high throughput, low latency, quality of service and failover and it is designed to be scalable.
