InfiniBand High-Speed Networking
InfiniBand HDR200 and NDR400 network design, installation and management. Low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnect for MPI workloads.
What is InfiniBand High-Speed Networking?
InfiniBand is a dedicated high-speed interconnect technology that delivers inter-node communication in HPC clusters at microsecond latencies and speeds of 200–400 Gb/s. Its RDMA support enables direct memory access without CPU involvement, providing a critical performance advantage for MPI workloads, deep learning training and large-scale simulations. Mevasis delivers end-to-end InfiniBand services, from fabric design and physical installation through driver configuration to production testing.
When an InfiniBand fabric is not designed correctly, the million-dollar investment in compute nodes gets stuck in a bottleneck. We run topology planning alongside workload analysis, and we never push a system to production that cannot pass acceptance tests.

How Does an InfiniBand Deployment Progress?
Mevasis InfiniBand projects are executed through a disciplined four-phase process; because each phase builds on the outputs of the previous one, transition risks are minimized.
Design and Capacity Planning
Workload analysis, port count and speed tier selection, HCA/switch/cable selection and integration of future growth scenarios into the architecture.
Physical Installation and Software Configuration
Rack placement, cable management, MLNX_OFED installation, kernel RDMA optimizations and compilation of MPI libraries with InfiniBand support.
Performance Testing and Acceptance
Full pre-production validation with single-link bandwidth, all-to-all latency, MPI benchmarks (IMB-MPI1, OSU) and failover tests.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should this solution be chosen?
InfiniBand should be chosen for workloads that require intensive inter-node data exchange, such as MPI-based parallel computing, deep learning training and large-scale simulation. When the latency and bandwidth of standard Ethernet networks become insufficient for such workloads, InfiniBand HDR200 or NDR400 technology delivers a decisive performance advantage.
How does Mevasis deliver this solution?
Mevasis provides end-to-end service from InfiniBand network design through installation to operational management. Fabric topology planning, switch configuration, RDMA-compatible driver installation, MPI performance tuning and production readiness testing are all carried out by our team. Post-installation monitoring and technical support services are also provided.
How is pricing structured?
InfiniBand infrastructure cost varies by port count, speed tier (HDR200 or NDR400), switch architecture and cable type. We recommend filling in the request form to obtain an accurate project-specific quote; our team will evaluate your needs and present tailored pricing.
