At the last International Supercomputing Conference Mellanox claimed to have an Infiniband solution ready to support Infiniband in Virtual Machines with nearly no performance impact. It is based on the SR-IOV Technologie. Some Information can be found in their blog at: http://www.mellanox.com/blog/2009/04/io-virtualization/
If someone already uses this technology it would be nice to get some feedback how well it is working.
