OC-3? ethernet? ATM? There is certainly technology that will bridge 10G ethernet and Infiniband (and SAN for that matter). Mellanox, Voltaire, and Qlogic all make things based upon Mellanox's BridgeX chip in various combinations. Infiniband and 10G ethernet are inherently compatible with the Mellanox chipset. Can you turn your dark fiber site link into a 10G?
There are various port options available and you can find a device like this for the $20k or less range. Qlogic 12400 Mellanox BX4010 does FC 8G, IB QDR, and 10G in one box. Voltaire has a 36 port IB 2 port 10G solution for ~$28k list with the Mellanox chipset. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
