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. Burton Group blog. The 13 different functions are mapped onto the data center "stack" at right. ► July. (1). ► June. (2). ► May. (2).

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. Burton Group blog.

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). 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.

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. Burton Group blog. Now: What’s the impact on costs? ► July. (1).
