Existing physical IO but with address hardware-based mapping/virtualization (e.g. Disaster Recovery – expanding on the example above, if an entire domain of servers fails, the entire group of server IO states, networking states, etc. Burton Group blog. Converged Networking Adapters (e.g. Qlogic , Emulex ).

Capital cost – if you count all of the separate hardware components they’re trying to manage. That last bullet, the thing about hardware components, is also something to drill down into. And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. Burton Group blog.

The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc. 2) Disaster Recovery: we can re-constitute an environment of server profiles, including all of their networking, ports, addresses, etc.,

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.), Burton Group blog. and storage connectivity (LUN mapping, switch control) are all abstracted and defined/configured in software.
