David Holder walks through removing unused load balancer IP allocations in NSX-T when used with PKS. Although I believe David’s post focuses on Enterprise PKS, it may also apply to NSX-T when integrating with “generic” Kubernetes as well. (I I’m looking forward to seeing how NaaS evolves. Cool stuff.

As a provider, Expedient has to balance five core resources: compute, storage (capacity), storage (performance), network I/O, and memory. Johnson shows that the E5 processor provides higher throughput at lower CPU usage with VMDq compared to a Xeon 5500 CPU (tests were done using an Intel X520 with VMware ESXi 5.0).

Both are implicitly or explicitly taking aim at each other as they chase the enterprise data center market. The only major things missing from their "Starter Kit" suite they offer are the addition of VMware - not cheap if you choose to purchase it - as well as the addition of a blade (or two) to serve as controllers of the system.

The problem is that often the VM management tools aren’t able to scale up to the size of enterprise operations. Kotsovinos points out that a VM is really a collection of interconnected physical subsystems : server, storage, and network. No longer will the storage team be able to just focus on storage issues.

According to Poonen, the core of the solution for “any application on any device” is VMware’s Workspace Suite. Workspace Suite creates the magic of “enterprise computing with consumer simplicity.” He recaps the announcements and re-iterates the key message: “enterprise security with consumer simplicity”.

He has more than 20 years of experience in assisting cloud, storage and data management technology companies as well as cloud service providers to address rapidly expanding Infrastructure-as-a-Service and big data sectors. Many companies have now transitioned to using clouds for access to IT resources such as servers and storage.

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.

In essence, a server’s logical IO is consolidated down to a single (physical) converged network which carries data, storage and KVM traffic. In much the same way that the hypervisor has since been embedded in tools like VMware’s vCenter, IOV can (and has been) embedded with higher-level management tools. Cloud Computing.

Switches generally support a variety of load balancing mechanisms, including source-destination MAC addresses, source-destination IP addresses, and sometimes even layer 4 (TCP/UDP) source-destination ports.
