This is some screaming fast gear. I wonder what the price difference will be between IB cards and these. It sounds like these are already in production and available publicly. Would love to see a price on them in general.

 @coliver - For the Cisco, 1 million dollars. For every other brand, maybe a few hundred.

Just did a quick search, and it looks like the only thing on the market currently are Mellonox cards for a little below $1k, so you're assuredly spot on.

 Give it 6 months.

That's not so bad. That's kind of my point, these have to be cheap. You can already get Mellanox 10/40GbE Infiniband cards for $600-$700. Mellanox 100Gb Infiniband is only around $1500.

 @Breffni-Potter said in 100Gbe NICs Hitting the Market: @coliver - For the Cisco, 1 million dollars. That's the monthly billing option right? 
- 
 Oh no that is a purchase price. But there is a maintenance contract which has to be renewed annually. 
- 
 @stacksofplates They will end up costing the same as 10/40 in not too long. Same number of lama's used. Note, RDMA, and RCoE require your protocol support it, and your platform support it end to end.

 @John-Nicholson said in 100Gbe NICs Hitting the Market: lama It will def be nice to have 100Gb without the RDMA support. We have a limited set of applications that can utilize it so I'll be happy once we get to use this.
