I'm a bit concerned on the Intel because of posts like this:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11373848  and the fact that they seem
to have shifted their focus to Omni-Path which from my understanding is
incompatible with the existing 40G gear.

SolarFlare seems promising, but I'd like to know of at least on success
