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.

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. Cloud Computing Journal. The 13 different functions are mapped onto the data center "stack" at right. Peter Cochrane. Reflections of the Void.

and storage connectivity (LUN mapping, switch control) are all abstracted and defined/configured in software. The result is a pooling of physical servers, network resources and storage resources that can be assigned on-demand. Because the physical CPU state (i.e.

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. Cloud Computing Journal.

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. Cloud Computing Journal. So this technical approach is gaining greater installed-base every day. Peter Cochrane.

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., Cloud Computing Journal.

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. Cloud Computing Journal. Now: What’s the impact on costs? Peter Cochrane. Steve Wilson.
