Flexibility is one of the key principles of Amazon Web Services - developers can select any programming language and software package, any operating system, any middleware and any database to build systems and applications that meet their requirements. It takes just minutes to get started and deploy your first application.

In the past, IT departments used to set up a new server for each new application that they wanted to deploy. This low level software allowed multiple applications to run on the same physical hardware but believe that they had the box all to themselves. No longer will the storage team be able to just focus on storage issues.

This blog is related to my 2009 installment on Fabric as an IT Enabler. In essence, a server’s logical IO is consolidated down to a single (physical) converged network which carries data, storage and KVM traffic. And what’s more, a hypervisor is not required for IOV, so you can use IOV with native applications too.

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.

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.

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.
