    Chapter 1 Introduction About InfiniBand InfiniBand technology is a high-performance channel-based interconnect architecture that provides increased scalability and reliability for servers and other Internet infrastructure equipment. InfiniBand architecture defines the entire stack, from the physical to the application layers APIs and fabric management. InfiniBand has unique capabilities for direct data placement implemented by RDMA and for OS bypassing, discovery, fail-over, remote boot, I/O sharing, and other advanced features.
