The 13 different functions are mapped onto the data center "stack" at right. They span management of both physical and virtual software, servers, I/O, networking, etc. -- as well as higher-level functions such as High-Availability and Disaster Recovery. Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1).

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. Disaster Recovery – expanding on the example above, if an entire domain of servers fails, the entire group of server IO states, networking states, etc. Big Data. (6).

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).

And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. And, if you can now logically re-define server and infrastructure profiles, you can also create simplified Disaster recovery tools too. Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1). Syndications.
