I'm looking at the QSFP cards on ebay ($125 or so), and I'm thinking of putting one in my NAS, and then if this is possible use one of the QSFP to 4x SFP+ cables, and direct connect to the
HP ConnectX2 cards that are on sale cheap...
Would this be possible?
Reason I ask, is that I only have 4 servers total (C6005 3 node, and 1 additional server), so a 4 to 1 would be perfect.
I know my NAS wouldn't be able to max out the QSFPs, but it would be an awesome improvement over 1G (I'd assume anyway).
