What is Infiniband

Chapter 2
Handbook of Research on Big Data Storage and Visualization Techniques
InfiniBand (abbreviated IB), a computer-networking communications standard used in high-performance computing, features very high throughput and very low latency. It is used for data interconnect both among and within computers. (InfiniBand, 2017)

Abstract
This chapter deals with a detailed discussion on the storage systems for data-intensive computing using Big Data. The chapter begins with a brief introduction about data-intensive computing and types of parallel processing approaches. It also highlights the points that display how data-intensive computing systems differ from other forms of computing. A discussion on the importance of Big Data computing is put forth. The current and future challenges of storage in genomics are discussed in detail. Also, storage and data management strategies are given. The chapter's focus is then on the software challenges for storage. Storage use cases are provided like DataDirect Networks, SDSC, etc. The list of storage tools and their details are provided. A small section discusses the sensor data storage system. Then a table is provided that shows the top 10 cloud storage systems for data-intensive computing using Big Data in the world. Top 500 Big Data storage servers statistics are also displayed effectively by the images from Top500 website.

Challenges and Opportunities in High Performance Cloud Computing
It is the network communication protocol covering OSI Layer 1-4, for achieving the aggregated throughput of 200 Gb/s for sending the serial data which provides the higher bandwidth, lower latency, enhanced scalability, and direct access without the involvement of OS to provide the advantages over the PCI Express. IB is sending the multiplexed data from the multiple channels at the same time. It provides the point-to-point bi-directional serial links between processor nodes and input/output nodes.
