Ask HN: 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?

- reliefcrew 3y agoLooks like a typical infiniband switch to me... if there is such a thing. "Dreamfyre" is just a marketing name AFAIK.
