Leading InfiniBand companies and organizations have banded together to form OpenIB Alliance, an industry association with the mission of delivering an open-source Linux-based software stack for deploying InfiniBand architecture.
InfiniBand is a channel-based, switch-fabric architecture. At first, starting in 2000, its proponents pushed it as a system bus/network bus network replacement for everything from PCI to Fibre Channel. The technology found it rough going though with questions about whether major OEMs would support it well into 2003.
