Hi,

I'm curious if anyone on the list has seen this "SMB over RDMA in "The
Wild" yet:
http://www.mellanox.com/content/pages.php?pg=press_release_item&rec_id=642

If so, any initial feedback on it's usefulness?  Any hint on where to find
more info short of a Mellanox Rep?

We run a bunch of WinHPC and have issues with overwhelming SMB2.0 over
10GbE, so I'm curious if this path is likely to help or hurt us.  Also
curious if it requires the new ConnectX v3 cards, or if we can use our
ConnectX v1 and v2 cards.

Cheers!
Greg
