This story is more than just about gaining energy efficiency by reducing the amount of network hardware. Rather, its all about using (and re-purposing) compute hardware more effectively. In turn, infrastructure orchestration (the "fabric") is the way to provide a logical way to create or re-configure I/O, network and storage.

2 weeks ago I was training a new Account Executive about the virtues of server automation, I/O virtualization, converged networking, etc. within the first hour he blurts out "then if a customer uses this stuff, they should be able get five-9s of availability from run-of-the-mill hardware, right?" I begin this blog with a true story.

It allows IT operations to define I/O, storage connectivity and networking entirely in software, resulting in stateless and re-configurable CPUs. It permits IT to "wire-once" and then create CPU configurations (virtual NICs, HBAs, networks/VLANs, storage connections) using a unified/consolidated networking fabric. Big Data. (6).

In the early eras of PCs, a number of new technologies arose: in particular there was the IP network, that allowed the CPU to talk to others, and external/networked storage, that externalized (or removed) the dedicated hard drive. Changes to the network or storage meant changing I/O configurations. An alternative model.
