A big reason is the proliferation of micro-services based applications in highly redundant and highly available cloud infrastructures. Add to that a desire for most enterprises to integrate cloud based workloads with legacy on-premises applications, and we have complex hybrid cloud deployments to deal with as the result.

The new system, developed as part of a TM Forum Catalyst project using the Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) and Open APIs, combines 31 separate billing systems deployed in 31 regions of the country. This means that an increase of 20 to 30 times the computing, storage and network resources is needed to support billing growth.

Elastic Load Balancing left unused. Elastic Block Storage volumes left unattached. No tagging. No right-sizing.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is an architecture that consolidates connectivity and security into a single cloud platform. This model guarantees secure connections to necessary applications, irrespective of location or device. Zero-trust plays a crucial role in securely and reliably connecting users to applications in the cloud.

So, if one site should go down – users would transparently be balanced to the next nearest or most available data center. .

Recep talks about how the predominant architecture for network virtualization involves the use of overlay networks created and managed at the edge by virtual switches in the hypervisors. Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services. So how does this work?

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.

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.

Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). This is very much analogous to how OS virtualization componentizes and abstracts OS and application software stacks. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.
