If I understand what you’re asking correctly, we used to have a cluster that 
did this. GPFS was on Infininiband, some of the compute nodes were too, and the 
rest were on Omnipath. There were routers in between with both types.

I know in the Lustre world that LNET routers are used to provide RDMA over 
heterogeneous networks.

Is there an equivalent for Storage Scale?
eg if an ESS uses Infiniband to connect directly to Cluster A, could that 
InfiniBand RDMA fabric be “routed” to ClusterB that has RoCE connecting all its 
nodes together and hence the filesystem mounted?

ps. The same question would apply to other usually incompatible RDMA networks 
like Omnipath, Slingshot, Cornelis, … ?
