RDMA over long-distance Open APN between two DCI physical nodes

This PoC report reveals how CHT enables long-distance RDMA between DCI physical nodes over open APN for benchmarking and VM (Virtual Machine) migration use case. According to IOWN Global Forum PoC reference document “RDMA over Open APN PoC Reference” version 1.0, this PoC project has achieved PoC objectives as below and provides some key measurement […]

IBM PoC Report of IOWN Data Hub: Frontend-to-Data Service HTTP PUT Communication Acceleration with Open APN and Server Communication Acceleration with Open APN

IOWN Data Hub PoC Reference V1.0: Senario1 (Frontend-to-Data Service PUT Communication Acceleration with Open APN) was conducted to test PUT capabilities on high-performance IBM Power. We tested the capability of PUT using Kafka (IBM Event Streams) and Open APN on a high-performance IBM Power Server. Network variations were 1GE, Open APN (100GE), and Non-APN (100GE […]
