One cloud computing solution is to deploy the platform as a means for disaster recovery, business continuity, and extending the data center. Whether it is redundant hardware or a private hot-site, keeping an environment up and running 99.99% (insert more 9’s here) of the time is a tough job. By: Bill Kleyman July 23rd, 2013.

They manage dedicated firewalls for us, but as far as load balancers we use the cloud. I wasn’t sure cloud load balancing would be right, for example, but they showed us the numbers. Networking. Disaster Recovery. “Because of the amount of mailflow, we need to manage that very closely,” said Namez. “A

This pertains to managing the infrastructure elements on which the cloud is running – including the physical infrastructure elements such as servers, networks and storage, as well as the virtualization layer and the cloud stack.

IO Virtualization is an approach whereby physical IO components such as Network Interface Cards (NICs) Host Bus Adaptors (HBAs) and Keyboard/video/Mouse ports (KVM) are reproduced logically rather than physically. Converged Networking Adapters (e.g. Existing physical IO but with address hardware-based mapping/virtualization (e.g.

Four days packed with presentations and networking (of the social kind). Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). Virtual networking. This permits physically flatter networks. Tuesday, December 8, 2009.

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. See diagram below.

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.), The result is a pooling of physical servers, network resources and storage resources that can be assigned on-demand.
