Anyone know what a "HPE Dreamfyre" is?


Does anyone know what a "HPE Dreamfyre" is?

There's an (Nvidia Mellanox) "HPE Dreamfyre" switch on Ebay:

"Dreamfyre" sounds like some internal project name.

The photo's of the item show what looks like high bandwidth connections to a backplane, so maybe the Dreamfyre is a blade server chassis or HPE rack server or similar?

Take a look at the backside connectors. They don't seem to be Infiniband.

Looks like a typical infiniband switch to me... if there is such a thing. "Dreamfyre" is just a marketing name AFAIK.
