  • Research Fabric Computing Poised As a Preferred Infrastructure For
    Research Publication Date: 11 February 2011 ID Number: G00210438 Fabric Computing Poised as a Preferred Infrastructure for Virtualization and Cloud Computing George J. Weiss, Andrew Butler Fabric computing is a fixture on the radar screen of many IT groups, driven by the increased penetration of virtualization and prospects for cloud computing. As virtualization penetration increases, IT organizations will deploy virtual machine (VM) mobility, which will demand more attention to a fabric-based infrastructure that better integrates server, storage and networking for greater agility and faster time to deploy. Key Findings Fabric computing is nearing a stage of adolescence — maturing quickly, but with much room for growth and maturation. Enterprises with serious initiatives in virtualization and cloud computing need to begin designing a fabric-based infrastructure, and the organizational structure to properly support it, as the underlying foundation for these initiatives. Based on polling results and many interactions with clients, we believe that Cisco has been the most influential marketing force in expanding the IT vocabulary and recognition for fabric computing, which is currently dominated by two vendors (Cisco and HP), with Dell, IBM and others making moves. Most users are still determining the use cases of fabric-based computing, and, as yet, are unwilling to be sold prepackaged modules of complete solutions by a single vendor. Recommendations Put fabric computing on the priority list of data center architecture planning, if your virtualization plans call for a heavily dynamic infrastructure. Do not overhaul or plan on rip-and-replace fabric development, but impose on vendors' design guidelines that harmonize their solutions with your other data center infrastructure.

    IBM Service Management: Visibility. Control. Automation. Smarter service delivery for a smarter planet. Every day, the world is becoming more instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent. Infrastructures and assets across the globe are rapidly being digitized, turning physical assets into smart assets that allow people, systems, and objects to communicate and interact with each other in entirely new ways. This “smarter planet” is creating opportunities for new, smarter, differentiated services and products. Organizations that can rapidly adapt and innovate to meet or exceed customer expectations for new services and products will be in a position to accelerate growth and gain competitive edge.

That’s because the clouds that interest IT executives today aren’t of the meteorological variety; they are computing clouds. Widespread interest and even unabashed excite- ment about cloud computing emanates from businesses, government agencies and other organizations seeking more dynamic, resilient and cost-effective IT systems than previous generations of technology allowed. While the term “cloud” may connote an ephemeral quality to the type of computing it describes, the benefits of cloud computing to customers are very tangible. IBM itself— as well as clients around the world—is adopting cloud computing in recognition of its potential to usher in a new era of responsiveness, effectiveness and efficiency in IT service delivery. “Cloud computing represents a Cloud computing is a style of computing whose foundation is the delivery of services, key technology in delivering software and processing capacity using private or public networks.

In working with the customers technical team you have determined that approximately 25 terabytes of data is backed up each night into their tape library and each Saturday they eject 200 tape cartridges to be shipped to the remote storage vault. Which of the following should the customer purchase and install to address these needs and why? A.TS7650G Diligent solution in front of their existing tape library. The Diligent modeling tool estimates that the solution will look for duplicate data and after several backup cycles will reduce the number of cartridges needed for backup by at least 50% B.TS7650G Diligent solution and a TS3310 Tape Library outfitted with LTO-4 tape drives.
