@Matt W: Thanks. :) Keep them coming.

@Matt Z: You are right — RDS is running on InfiniBand using RDMA. I updated the text. Thanks a bunch.

Alex,

One technical note – the Oracle IB support uses RDS for both the Cache Fusion interconnect and the Exadata-compute traffic. The upper layer protocols are different due to the nature of the types of traffic.

Thanks,
Matt

I’m becoming blog fodder for you aren’t I :) Interesting post, it does seem strange that they even quote the price of these without software.
