QDR switches are sold (refurbished) at more or less € 2k, 40Gb/s and usually 36ports. 10GbE costs at least 2x times more and with only 12 or 24 ports. 2GB/s on QDR cards is good and is still faster than 10GbE but still half than what I would expect from a QDR card. Do you know why we loose more than 50% of bandwidth? Do you have experience on DDR cards? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
