Point taken, but for some time Mellanox has touted at least cross-campus-type IB. I never persuaded anyone to evaluate it for use between two machine rooms, but there were obvious non-HPC cases for it within them. I'd be interested to know how the long distance stuff actually works, not being a beginner with sales talk.
