True, both have made huge strides in the hardware world to allow for blade repurposing, I/O, address, and storage naming portability, etc. However, in the software domain, each still relies on multiple individual products to accomplish tasks such as SW provisioning, HA/availability, VM management, load balancing, etc.

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.

In essence, a server’s logical IO is consolidated down to a single (physical) converged network which carries data, storage and KVM traffic. can be recovered onto another domain (assuming shared/replicated storage). Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In fact, Compute fabrics might just be the next big thing after OS virtualization. Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc. Big Data. (6).
