Many companies have now transitioned to using clouds for access to IT resources such as servers and storage. 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. Cloud Management. Cloud Application Management.

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.

As a provider, Expedient has to balance five core resources: compute, storage (capacity), storage (performance), network I/O, and memory. Expedient found that migrating to 10 GbE actually “unlocked” additional performance headroom in the other resources, which wasn’t expected.

For a start, it provides easy optimization of infrastructural resources since it uses hardware more effectively. Low costs of resources. This is, obviously, a more efficient resource when it comes to utilization. Containers take up fewer resources and are lightweight by design. Traffic routing and load balancing.

Disaggregation of resources is a common platform option for microservers. A traditional SRF architecture can be replicated with COTS hardware using multi-queue NICs and multi-core/multi-socket CPUs. Workloads are scheduled across these server/linecards using Valiant Load Balancing (VLB).

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. The transition you speak of -- from I/O as a fixed resource to infrastructure-as-a-service -- is actually well along.

We believe that making these GPU resources available for everyone to use at low cost will drive new innovation in the application of highly parallel programming models. The early GPU systems were very vendor specific and mostly consisted of graphic operators implemented in hardware being able to operate on data streams in parallel.Â
