Whether it is redundant hardware or a private hot-site, keeping an environment up and running 99.99% (insert more 9’s here) of the time is a tough job. With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites.

The user level elements that are managed within such an IaaS cloud are virtual servers, cloud storage and shared resources such as load balancers and firewalls. The last point is key, since modern Enterprise Apps are typically constructed on multiple servers. Cloud Application Management. Security policies. Firewall rules.

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.

If we think of "fabric computing" as abstraction and orchestration of IT components, then there is a logical progression of what gets abstracted, and then, what services can be constructed via logically manipulating the pieces: 1. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Nick Schmidt talks about using GitOps with the NSX Advanced Load Balancer. Servers/Hardware. If you have any feedback for me—constructive criticism, praise, suggestions for where I can find more articles (especially if the site supports RSS!), What do you think microsegmentation means ? Read more here. Yes please!

Servers/Hardware. In any case, this article by Frank Denneman on Storage DRS load balancing frequency might be useful to you. This is also why I’ve been spending time with Open vSwitch, which is a critical construct in Quantum.). There’s a lot to digest there (for me, anyway, there is a lot to digest).

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.
