Four days packed with presentations and networking (of the social kind). Virtualizing I/O and converging the transport. Transport can be Ethernet, FCoE, Infiniband, or others. The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Mobile Work.

And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. Consolidating I/O also implies converged transport, meaning fewer cables (typically only 1 per server, 2 if teamed/redundant). And a converged transport also allows for fewer switches needed on the network. Mobile Work. (4).

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.), Mobile Work.
