Who Needs This Book?
It is not MindShare's intention to convince the reader that the InfiniBand networking technology is superior to other networking technologies. As with all of our books, our goal is to provide a detailed description of the InfiniBand technology for those tasked with designing InfiniBand hardware and/or software, as well as those responsible for supporting the technology once it has been deployed.
