Two rumours

Rich Marcello, senior VP and general manager for HP, just spoke on Business Critical Servers. Two "rumours" fell out of that talk:

  • Inifiniband will be supported as a cluster interconnect on IPF
  • HP is considering standard racking, cooling, and power for IPF systems, Proliants, and storage

I'm not sure what the VMS guys would say about supporting Infiniband, but I will try to get a better take on it from someone in the VMS Engineering organization.

As to standard racking, Rich asked the room if they would like it, and I believe the response could be termed "thunderous applause".
