More than one person took note of how I compared its simplicity in contrast to other offerings in the same space, but failed to detail the specifics of Egeneras PAN Manager software and how it mapped to 13 common IT Service Management functions. The 13 different functions are mapped onto the data center "stack" at right. Big Data. (6).

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.

Earlier this year I met with an ISV partner who transformed his on-premise ERP software into a software-as-a-service offering. There are several resources required: Elastic Load Balancers, EC2 instances, EBS volumes, SimpleDB domains and an RDS instance. Driving Storage Costs Down for AWS Customers. At werner.ly

In essence, a server’s logical IO is consolidated down to a single (physical) converged network which carries data, storage and KVM traffic. However, to be clear, IOV is not a software layer as-is the hypervisor). This provides a ‘universal’ style of failover that doesn’t require clustering software.

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.

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. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Thats essentially the idea behind the " Datacenter-in-a-Box :" Most common config uration: Blades + Networking + SAN Storage Most useful tools to manage VMs + physical servers + network + I/O + SW provisioning + workload automation + high availability Thats what Egeneras done with Dell. Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1).

other than managing your software stack). And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. In the same way that the software domain has been virtualized by the hypervisor, the infrastructure world can be virtualized with I/O virtualization and converged networking.

Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. The different stages were then load balanced across the available units.
