Hi Ramses,

thanks for offering us this opportunity. Let me start with question about vBlock 540 and X-bricks. Seems like one of the most cricital/important pieces is Infiniband switch and I noticed it is Intel device. I remember that Cisco aquired company that manufactured infiniband switches couple years ago but seems like these devices are all end-of-life. Can you please confirm that Cisco is not offering infiniband switches to the market anymore?

Thanks,

Tenaro

Cisco is no longer making Infiniband switches, that is correct.

Please do know the vBlock 540 does not consist of such switched and please do have a look @ http://www.vce.com/asset/documents/vblock-540-data-sheet.pdf to get more information on this.
