Subject: [AMBER] XServe cluster

Hi,

I have been tasked with building a 4 or 8 node Xserve cluster for use
with Amber and Gaussian. The Xserve's are quad core Intel servers. My
concern is the interconnect between the servers.

Would a QLogic Fibre Channel switch running at 4.25GB/s be suitable for
a cluster this size?

Infiniband is probably going to be too expensive. Are there any other
recommendations?

Thanks,

Abdul
