IB CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)
The IB CLIM is a rack-mounted HP Proliant DL380 G6 server that is used in some NonStop NS16000
series system configurations to provide InfiniBand connectivity via dual-ported Host Channel Adapter
(HCA) InfiniBand interfaces. The HCA IB interface on the IB CLIM connects to a customer-supplied
IB switch using a customer-supplied cable as part of the Low Latency Solution.
NOTE: IB CLIMs are only used as a Low Latency Solution. They do not provide general purpose
InfiniBand connectivity for NonStop Systems.
The IB CLIMs are used as part of a Low Latency Solution. The Low Latency Solution architecture
provides a high speed and low latency messaging system for stock exchange trading from the
incoming trade server to the NonStop operating system. The solution utilizes the third-party
Informatica software for messaging and order sequencing, which must be installed separately. For
information about obtaining Informatica software, contact your service provider.
The Low Latency Solution also requires a customer-supplied IB switch and Subnet Manager software
either installed on the IB switch or running on another server.
The following illustration shows the IB and Ethernet interfaces and ServerNet fabric connections
on an IB CLIM.
