Congrats on the QDR switched setup, very similar to what I have in my lab (IS5000 switch & Connectix2 vpi) including using as a backbone for two Windows 2012 R2 servers with there JBOD mirrored two each other using StarWind. Watch out for those driver versions as well as subnet manager speed bumps, otherwise very fast and affordable...

We're working directly with Mellanox engineering team so hope to use drivers they don't even publish yet

Thanks for suggestion in any case!

So can do IP-over-IB making 33-35 Gbps. MUCH better compared to old numbers. Now IPoIB does not suck

Thank you Mellanox!!
