beyond
• See Intel’s Download site (http://downloadcenter.intel.com) for
drivers (search “NE020”)
• Drivers under development for Windows Server
“8”
• Supports Microsoft’s SMB Direct via NDK
• Uses the IETF’s iWARP RDMA technology that is built on top of IP
• The only WAN-routable, “cloud-ready” RDMA technology
• Uses standard ethernet switches
• Beta drivers available from Intel’s Download site
(http://downloadcenter.intel.com) for drivers (search “NE020”)
