GOLDEN, CO / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2018 / Demartek, an independent computer industry analyst firm with its own computer test lab, announced that it has evaluated Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) 25GbE RDMA network adapters in virtualized environments.
"25GbE technology provides additional headroom for busy virtualized systems and RDMA technology, including iWARP and RoCE, provides added efficiencies," said Dennis Martin, Demartek President. "In our tests, we found that in a real-world heavily utilized system, the 25GbE network adapter with RDMA enabled produced a 60% reduction in time to complete live migrations compared to the same scenario with RDMA disabled. Further, we found that using RDMA with the 25GbE network adapter completed the live migrations 30% faster than using RDMA with the 10GbE network adapter."
