Highly Efficient Data Access with RoCE on IBM Elastic Storage Systems and IBM Spectrum Scale

With Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), you can make a subset of a host's memory directly available to a remote host. RDMA is available on standard Ethernet-based networks by using the RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) interface. The RoCE network protocol is an industry-standard initiative by the InfiniBand Trade Association.

This IBM® Redpaper publication describes how to set up RoCE to use within an IBM Spectrum® Scale cluster and IBM Elastic Storage® Systems (ESSs).

This book is targeted at technical professionals (consultants, technical support staff, IT Architects, and IT Specialists) who are responsible for delivering cost-effective storage solutions with IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM ESSs.
