We’re seeing a glimmer of the future – the Internet of Things (IoT) – where anything and everything is or contains a sensor that can communicate over the network/Internet. Your running shoe tracks your workouts, sending the data to a mobile app. You can opt-in to smart metering so that a utility can load balance energy distribution.

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). Virtualizing I/O and converging the transport. Transport can be Ethernet, FCoE, Infiniband, or others.

And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. In the same way that the software domain has been virtualized by the hypervisor, the infrastructure world can be virtualized with I/O virtualization and converged networking. Mobile Work. (4). Mobility. (2).

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.
