The Obsidian Bowman™ is a Global Fabric Controller
Much more than a drop-in replacement for conventional subnet managers. When combined with Crossbow R400 it enables a fabric consisting of multiple subnets. Add Longbow and that fabric can span the globe as demonstrated by InfiniCortex.
Bowman has a number of features that set it apart:- fast subnet initialization, critical for large fabrics
- configurations guaranteed to be deadlock free (no credit loops)
- true multi-subnet support for arbitrary and compound topologies
- native support for automatic path migration
