Fountainhead: Emergence of Fabric as an IT Management Enabler

Fountainhead

Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). Virtualizing I/O and converging the transport. Transport can be Ethernet, FCoE, Infiniband, or others. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Fountainhead: Converged Infrastructure Part 2.

And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. Consolidating I/O also implies converged transport, meaning fewer cables (typically only 1 per server, 2 if teamed/redundant). And a converged transport also allows for fewer switches needed on the network.

Fountainhead: Converged Infrastructure. Part 1

Fountainhead

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.

AI makes edge computing more relevant to CIOs

CIO Business Intelligence

There are numerous ways AI models at the edge could help beyond simply controlling traffic lights, he says, such as citizen safety, autonomous transportation, smart grids, and self-healing infrastructures. This could be accomplished using AI-driven components for load balancing, fault tolerance, or predictive anomaly detection.
