Ask some CTO’s about how their product scales and they’ll whip out a logical diagram showing you redundant networks, redundant firewalls, load balancers, clustered application servers, redundant databases, and SAN storage. ► 2012. (17). Blog Archive. ► 2013. (21). ► July. (3). ► June.

As a provider, Expedient has to balance five core resources: compute, storage (capacity), storage (performance), network I/O, and memory. as well as Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V–allows VMware customers to use DirectPath I/O to assign VMs directly to a VF, bypassing the hypervisor.

True, both have made huge strides in the hardware world to allow for blade repurposing, I/O, address, and storage naming portability, etc. However, in the software domain, each still relies on multiple individual products to accomplish tasks such as SW provisioning, HA/availability, VM management, load balancing, etc.

Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

Converged Infrastructure and Unified Computing are both terms referring to technology where the complete server profile, including I/O (NICs, HBAs, KVM), networking (VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.), and storage connectivity (LUN mapping, switch control) are all abstracted and defined/configured in software.

Workloads are scheduled across these server/linecards using Valiant Load Balancing (VLB). Of course, there are issues with packet-level load balancing and flow-level load balancing, so tradeoffs must be made one way or another. IDF 2012 Day 2 Summary and Thoughts.

The Intel Open Network Platform (ONP) Switch is the official name for Seacliff Trail, which I talked about last year at IDF 2012. Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services. IDF 2012 Day 1 Summary and Thoughts.

And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. It means creating segregated VLAN networks, creating and assigning data and storage switches. ► 2012. (15). Because every physical infrastructure component in the “old” way of doing things has a cost.
