Johnson shows a great diagram that reviews all the various types of VM-to-VM communications that can exist in modern data centers: VM-to-VM (on the same host) via the software-based virtual switch (could be speeds of 30 to 40 Gbps in this use case). In this case, the switching is done in hardware in the SR-IOV NIC.

The two big recent entrants/announcements were Ciscos Unified Computing System (made this past March) and then HPs BladeSystem Matrix (made in June). Each has a differing technology approach to blade repurposing, and each differs in the type (and source) of management control software. But how revolutionary and simplifying are they?

Parallel processing refers to the use of multiple processors or cores in a computing system to perform multiple operations simultaneously. Shared memory parallel processing is easy to program and efficient for tasks that require frequent communication between processors, but it may not be scalable to large systems.

The arrival of virtualization software changed everything. This low level software allowed multiple applications to run on the same physical hardware but believe that they had the box all to themselves. There’s something deeply satisfying about tackling a system problem when you have the physical box in front of you.

A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and load balancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. Since they can be provisioned and configured by software means that they can now be automated using vCAC and vCD.
