Infrastructure Orchestration and Unified Computing are both terms referring to a technology whereby server CPU, I/O, storage connectivity, and network, are all able to be defined and configured in software. And, by abstracting the I/O, both data and storage connections can be converged, further simplifying the network infrastructure.
