Each has a differing technology approach to blade repurposing, and each differs in the type (and source) of management control software. The UCS Manager software bundled with the system provides core functionality (see diagram, right). As sophisticated as it is, in contrast to HP, this software is essentially "1.0" Steve Wilson.

In fact, using this new architecture, one could even burst (or fail-over) from a private cloud to a public instance. Cloud Computing can be referred as a deployment model, designed to support for technology infrastructure in terms of cost, hi-tech hardware, storage capacity along with addressing scalability concerns.

Many moons back in July 08 I wrote whether an "Internal Cloud" was an oxymoron , as well as a piece on how to build such internal architectures. The project, dubbed the Health Associated Infection and Influenza Surveillance System, was built on six standard blade servers with converged network and storage I/O. Cloud Computing Journal.

I feel like maybe the frame of our conversation is a little different — Argo makes self-driving hardware and software for cars. You make hardware and software that allows cars to drive themselves. So they put a specialized computer in their car, it runs your software. Do you have any hardware demands? How does that part work?

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. can all be simplified and accomplished via software as well.

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". All assets fall under the command of the automation software controller.
