Split the data among multiple machines and create a distributed system. NoSQL (“Not only SQL”) databases were invented to cope with these new requirements of volume (capacity), velocity (throughput), and variety (format) of big data.

The results of this approach is that physical servers can be repurposed easily, regardless of whether theyre running physical or virtual software. And fast repurposing means you can deliver instant High Availability (HA), entire environment disaster recovery (DR), and near-instant scaling (capacity-on-demand). Big Data. (6).

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). Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1).

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.

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. Big Data.

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.
