FreeBSD has commercial support from iXsystems.

FreeBSD (and perhaps some other BSDs) support “top-end” Ethernet as well. There was a great post on the Netflix blog a couple of months ago (discussed on HN) about how Netflix optimized their systems to serve video at 100Gbps.

FreeBSD does not support Infiniband, afaik.

FreeBSD has supported Infiniband for over a decade.
