IDF 2014: Architecting for SDI, a Microserver Perspective

Scott Lowe

Once again this comes back to Intel’s rack-scale architecture work.) He starts the discussion by talking about NFV and SDN, and how these efforts enable agile networks on standard high volume (SHV) servers (such as microservers). Workloads are scheduled across these server/linecards using Valiant Load Balancing (VLB).
