Servers: Interconnect Fabrics: 10GbE, Infiniband
Infiniband proposes to bring these I/O connections "outside" the servers so computing power can be upgraded or added in a simple, efficient manner. In addition, I/O expansion takes place across a switched fabric environment, eliminating slot limitations of PCI and PCI-X illustrate both a contemporary network being deployed today, and a vision of what an InfiniBand network would resemble. Clearly, a change of this magnitude would essentially redefine the server, making it nearly a pure computing machine...More

Network Storage: Industry Report 2008
Since the advent of mainframes, computer scientists have constantly wrestled with various architectures to speed the I/O performance with increasing processor performance. Earlier efforts to improve data access involved tight coupling file systems and I/O with its operating systems. The rise of networked distributed computing brought the challenge of sharing files amongst heterogeneous computers running different operating systems. This gave rise to network-attached-storage servers to be independent of applications servers and dedicated to only serving files to users while offloading data management tasks from the over burdened application servers.

WAN Optimization
Today's increasingly complex applications simply aren't designed to run smoothly across large distributed networks that support branch, remote and mobile workers. That has network executives scrambling to invest in new technologies — such as application acceleration and WAN optimization tools — and others working with system administrators and application developers to tweak internal servers and fine-tune application code. Here a handful of network professionals and industry analysts share advice on how to boost application performance across a network...More |
