Is there a difference between network virtualization and Software-Defined Networking (SDN)? So, in a similar fashion to my post on network overlays vs. network virtualization , I thought I’d weigh in with some thoughts. With this definition in hand, let’s compare network virtualization to SDN.
By: Bill Kleyman July 23rd, 2013. With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites. So, if one site should go down – users would transparently be balanced to the next nearest or most available data center. .
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. IO Virtualization: The “Hypervisor” for Your Infrastructure. More than ever in 2010, IO Virtualization (IOV) has been showing-up in products, written about, spoken about. IO Virtualization. Fountainhead. Monday, December 13, 2010.
By: Industry Perspectives July 17th, 2013. This pertains to managing the infrastructure elements on which the cloud is running – including the physical infrastructure elements such as servers, networks and storage, as well as the virtualization layer and the cloud stack. July 2013 (144). June 2013 (164).
For example, the server virtualization value proposition is simple. Once server virtualization is in the door more of the operational advantages and efficiencies appear. So, NSX would sit on top of the physical network, which would give you the same capability to provision extremely complex virtual networks from Layer 2 to 7.
By: Jason Verge July 23rd, 2013. They manage dedicated firewalls for us, but as far as loadbalancers we use the cloud. I wasn’t sure cloud loadbalancing would be right, for example, but they showed us the numbers. July 2013 (144). June 2013 (164). May 2013 (165). April 2013 (179).
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. Monday, March 25, 2013. landscape will include many servers (often virtual machines) linked by. unique network topology (including loadbalancing, firewalls, etc.). location of app images and VMs), network (including loadbalancing and.
The first concept that Recep discusses is network virtualization. He believes that network virtualization is primarily about decoupling network services from the underlying network infrastructure. The specific terminology involved is that the virtual switches become a VTEP, a virtual tunnel end-point.
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. While not new concepts, they illustrate how "real" cloud computing elasticity works, and challenge a few other virtualization & automation providers to do the same. skip to main | skip to sidebar. Fountainhead. Monday, May 18, 2009.
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. When a new server (physical or virtual) is created, much of this infrastructure also has to be provisioned to support it. That is, I/O is virtualized, networking is frequently converged (i.e. a Fabric), and network switches, loadbalancers, etc.
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. They span management of both physical and virtual software, servers, I/O, networking, etc. -- as well as higher-level functions such as High-Availability and Disaster Recovery. Virtualization. (31). ► 2013. (10). Virtual Enthusiasm.
The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and loadbalancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. VMware is of course pushing their virtual SAN solution (vSAN) to provision and control storage.
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. Lots of talk about cloud computing, IT operations, virtualization and more. In fact, Compute fabrics might just be the next big thing after OS virtualization. Virtualizing I/O and converging the transport. Virtual networking.
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. Thats to say it includes I/O virtualization, a converged network fabric (including virtual switches and loadbalancing - based on std.

Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, loadbalancers and cables. What might be possible if you could virtualize all of the physical infrastructure components, and then have a single tool to manipulate them logically?
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. The instantiation of these observations was a product that put almost all of the datacenter on "autopilot" -- Servers, VMs, switches, load-balancers, even server power controllers and power strips. skip to main | skip to sidebar.

Erik Smith, notably known for his outstanding posts on storage and FCoE, takes a stab at describing some of the differences between SDN and network virtualization in this post. Virtualization. I’m not sure if this should be considered “storage” or “virtualization,” as the lines continue to blur every day.
Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. 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 loadbalancing, etc.), skip to main | skip to sidebar.

In Q3 of 2013, Blue Box launched OpenStack On-Demand, a hosted, single tenant private cloud offering. Private cloud is a relatively new phenomenon, and for many has really meant advanced virtualization. Visit the site for more information on virtualization, servers, storage, and other enterprise technologies.
This is a liveblog of the day 2 keynote at VMworld 2013 in San Francisco. Supposedly there are more than 22,000 people in attendance at VMworld 2013, making it—according to Carl—the largest IT infrastructure event. At Carl’s prompting, Kit goes yet another level deeper into how network virtualization works.
