As far as I know, no has a system like ours that can actually scale OLTP workloads. Warehousing/Analytics databases are very different beast. Can you point me at an OLTP system that I can expand without taking any loss of availability? How about supporting online schema changes?
Infiniband ports cost less than 10GE right now. There's really nothing that ties our architecture to IB. It's all about price/performance. When a better/cheaper technology becomes more available, we'll switch to that.
