The beauty of infrastructure orchestration is that it abstracts-away all of the "plumbing" of the Server such as I/O, networking and storage connectivity -- which makes it an absolutely *ideal* complement to virtualization. I've spent lots of time at early stage companies, as well as Sun Microsystems, Cassatt, Egenera, EMC.

Infrastructure Orchestration abstracts and defines/configures the infrastructure world (I/O, NIC cards, HBA cards, storage connectivity, LANs, switches, etc.). So, not only can you define a virtual server instantly, you can define a *physical* server (maybe a virtual host, or a physical machine) down to I/O, NICs, Storage and Network.

But we also fail to notice the complexity it creates for managing I/O, storage connectivity and other physical-world management issues. Not all High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) is solved by VM technology. But hardware, I/O, storage and network have to be provisioned too. cmon folks.

The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system.". A technology where CPU allocation , data I/O , storage I/O , network configurations, and s torage connections are all logically defined and configured in software.

Fundamentally, the concept abstracts-away a servers I/O, disk, storage connectivity, and out-of-band controls, making it a stateless entity. and the Host Bus Adaptor (HBA) for connection to storage. Changes to the network or storage meant changing I/O configurations. Issues having to do with I/O, storage connectivity, etc.

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.

Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). 2) Disaster Recovery: we can re-constitute an environment of server profiles, including all of their networking, ports, addresses, etc., even if that environment hosts VMs and native OSs.

And, if you can now logically re-define server and infrastructure profiles, you can also create simplified Disaster recovery tools too. It means creating segregated VLAN networks, creating and assigning data and storage switches. In all, we can go from roughly a dozen point-products down to just 2-3 (see diagram above).
