More than one person took note of how I compared its simplicity in contrast to other offerings in the same space, but failed to detail the specifics of Egeneras PAN Manager software and how it mapped to 13 common IT Service Management functions.

Its the approach that HP (w/Matrix Orchestration Environment plugins), IBM (Open Fabric Environment) and Cisco (Unified Computing System or UCS) have entered into recently, and where firms like Egenera (with PAN Manager software and the Dell PAN System ) have been selling for some time.

But each new technology came at an (unwitting) price: they became tightly-bound to the hardware and software. Each had a software driver, usually tied to the O/S. which meant that addressing and naming could be provisioned/changed in software. Presto - instant Disaster Recovery (DR).

You should think of IOV using the following analogy: The way in which the hypervisor abstracts software in the application domain, IOV abstracts IO and networking in the infrastructure domain. However, to be clear, IOV is not a software layer as-is the hypervisor). Cloud Computing Journal. IOV is agnostic to the workload!

other than managing your software stack). In the same way that the software domain has been virtualized by the hypervisor, the infrastructure world can be virtualized with I/O virtualization and converged networking. Also remember that with few moving (physical) parts, you also have to purchase few software tools and licenses.

and storage connectivity (LUN mapping, switch control) are all abstracted and defined/configured in software. While a converged system may be constructed of modular components that can be swapped in and out as scaling requires, ultimately the entire system is integrated at either the hardware layer or the software layer.

This is very much analogous to how OS virtualization componentizes and abstracts OS and application software stacks. The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. can all be simplified and accomplished via software as well.
