This is IDF 2013 session CLDS001, titled “Rack Scale Architecture for Cloud.” However, the current architectures aren’t sufficient. To address these concerns, Intel believes that a rack-level architecture is needed. Reference architectures and orchestration software. So where does RSA stand today?

Right-on… Then there is a report by Gartner Research on fabric-based computing… which estimated that by the end of 2012, roughly 30% of the world’s top 2000 companies would have some form of fabric-based computing architecture. As physical/virtual servers move, migrate and scale, storage simply follows. Ken Oestreich.

The result is a pooling of physical servers, network resources and storage resources that can be assigned on-demand. BTW, there is another nice resource -- a white paper commissioned by HP (!)

Although these posts are storage-related, the real focus is on how the storage stack is implemented in a virtualization solution, which is why I’m putting them in this section.

It sounds like Ivan favors scale-out architectures, not scale-up architectures (which are typically what is seen in centralized control plane deployments).

Indeed, there are a number of similar technologies out there (Cisco with its UCS, and HP with its own offerings). The beauty of infrastructure orchestration is that it abstracts-away all of the "plumbing" of the Server such as I/O, networking and storage connectivity -- which makes it an absolutely *ideal* complement to virtualization.

Rackspace, Dell and HP are all Cloud providers that were looking for a Cloud OS. OpenStack needs virtual network (and storage for that matter) and Nicira seems just as committed to OpenStack as they had prior to the acquisition. I don’t think you have to look any further than their purchases and divestitures.
