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. N-Tier architectures and micro-services applications must be tuned for performance.

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.

As a provider, Expedient has to balance five core resources: compute, storage (capacity), storage (performance), network I/O, and memory. It is, however, very well-suited to workloads that need predictable performance and that work with lots of small packets (firewalls, load balancers, other network devices).

Both are implicitly or explicitly taking aim at each other as they chase the enterprise data center market. True, both have made huge strides in the hardware world to allow for blade repurposing, I/O, address, and storage naming portability, etc. Enterprise Efficiency. Enterprise Efficiency. Cloud Computing. CloudScaling.

According to Martin, the term SDN originally referred to a change in the network architecture to include a) decoupling the distribution model of the control plane from the data plane; and b) generalized rather than fixed function forwarding hardware. What about virtualized load balancers? What about NX-OS, JUNOS, or EOS?

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is an architecture that consolidates connectivity and security into a single cloud platform. Adopting a zero trust approach to security is also an essential step in embracing decentralised computing.

Cloud Computing » Storage. 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. .

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?

Once again this comes back to Intel’s rack-scale architecture work.) A traditional SRF architecture can be replicated with COTS hardware using multi-queue NICs and multi-core/multi-socket CPUs. Workloads are scheduled across these server/linecards using Valiant Load Balancing (VLB).

I might have mentioned this before, but Ken Pepple’s OpenStack Folsom architecture post is just awesome. If any enterprise Puppet experts want to give it a go, I’d be happy to publish a guest blog post for you with full details on how it’s done.

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). The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Note that even though fleet helps with scheduling containers across a cluster of systems, fleet doesn’t address some of the other significant challenges that arise from an architecture based on distributed micro-services in containers. However, the basic architecture I’ve shown you here can be extended.
