- Adapter and fabric diversity

In other words, what it will take in the long run to make NFS/RDMA a vibrant alternative to NFS on IPoIB in Enterprise Linux distributions.

Registration
What we need is the number of attendees from your company, their names (and email) and the type of equipment you will be bringing.
We are primarily interested in if the equipment has special power requirements and if it is loud.
By the way, please look at the Event Hosting Requirements and let us know if you plan to use a network service not listed.
