This is an awesome overview of the OpenStack Folsom architecture , courtesy of Ken Pepple. In any case, this article by Frank Denneman on Storage DRS load balancing frequency might be useful to you. This is also why I’ve been spending time with Open vSwitch, which is a critical construct in Quantum.).

The instantiation of these observations was a product that put almost all of the datacenter on "autopilot" -- Servers, VMs, switches, load-balancers, even server power controllers and power strips. Does it sound like Amazons recent CloudWatch, Auto-Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing announcement? but growing.

With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites. So, if one site should go down – users would transparently be balanced to the next nearest or most available data center. . Building a “business-in-a-box.”

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.), From an architectural perspective, this approach may also be referred to as a compute fabric or Processing Area Network.

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.

If we think of "fabric computing" as abstraction and orchestration of IT components, then there is a logical progression of what gets abstracted, and then, what services can be constructed via logically manipulating the pieces: 1. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc. Enterprise Efficiency.
