The mission of the OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) is to develop, distribute and promote a unified, transport-independent, open-source software stack for RDMA-capable fabrics and networks, including InfiniBand and Ethernet.  The software stack is developed for many hardware architectures and operating systems, including Linux and Windows. Upper-level protocols in the stack support IP, NAS, SAN, sockets, clustered file systems and database application environments.  OFA also manages interoperability testing of the software stack across many vendor platforms and product types.  OFA software is used worldwide in corporate data centers, high-performance computing facilities, research institutes, and industries as diverse as bioinformatics, electronic design, engineering, entertainment & media, financial services and oil & gas.
