In this post, I’ve collected a few links on various data center technologies, news, events, and trends. Servers/Hardware. Sean Collins has an article on building a cheap, compact, and multinode DevStack environment for a home lab that lays out some server hardware decisions and the tools he uses to manage them.

The latter can be open-source software such as OpenStack, CloudStack or commercial products such as Citrix CloudPlatform or VMware Cloud Director (VCD). The user level elements that are managed within such an IaaS cloud are virtual servers, cloud storage and shared resources such as load balancers and firewalls. White Papers.

This low level software allowed multiple applications to run on the same physical hardware but believe that they had the box all to themselves. The arrival of virtualization in the data center is going to screw all of this up. The arrival of virtualization software changed everything. Permalink | 2 comments | Add to del.icio.us.

This is my usual collection of links, thoughts, rants, and ideas about data center-related technologies. First up is Brent Salisbury’s how to build an SDN lab without needing OpenFlow hardware. Servers/Hardware. Is this the beginning of the data center fractal edge ? Networking. Virtualization.

Kit Colbert (VMware Principal Architect) & Carl Ecshenbach (VMware COO) Joe Baguley (VMware CTO, EMEA). VMware is talking about the business of IT and how they enable their own business to deliver applications. It’s all about vCloud (vCloud Automation Center and vCloud Director) and NSX (yet to be released).

Tom’s key point is that disaggregating software from hardware—which is kind of a given if you’re buying whitebox networking gear—gives you the (potential) flexibility to repurpose network gear based on the software running on it. Servers/Hardware. However, it’s at least possible with whitebox networking gear. Virtualization.

Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. Its similar in concept to how the hypervisor is an enabler (but usually not used as a stand-alone product) of data center management services. Existing physical IO but with address hardware-based mapping/virtualization (e.g. What is IOV?
