#### [What is RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)?](https://canonical.com/blog/what-is-rdma-over-converged-ethernet-roce)

Previous articles walked through RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) as a programming model and InfiniBand as the fabric that was built around it. Both led to the same conclusion, even if it was never stated outright: moving data, not compute, becomes the bottleneck once systems scale. So what happens when you want RDMA, but you’re

#### [What is InfiniBand?](https://canonical.com/blog/what-is-infiniband)

When distributed workloads stall because nodes cannot exchange small messages quickly and consistently, the network is the limiting factor. How do you solve that problem? InfiniBand offers one solution. InfiniBand is an interconnect, meaning the end-to-end communication system that links compute, storage, and accelerator nodes. It is impl

#### [The bare metal problem in AI Factories](https://canonical.com/blog/the-bare-metal-problem-in-ai-factories)

As AI platforms grow into large-scale “AI Factories,” the real bottleneck shifts from model design to operational complexity. With expensive GPU accelerators, hardware failures and inconsistent configurations lead directly to lost throughput and reduced return on investment. While Kubernetes orchestrates workloads, it cannot fix broken ph
