Moore’s Law marches on…
…raw speed gives way to manycore CPUs and large memory
(16-64 core rackmounts and blades with up to .5TB RAM in 2009)
Operational budget reductions and “greening” spur mass consolidation efforts
Medium and “fat” server nodes ideal for x64 virtualization… but suffer serious I/O starvation
Current trend is 6-8+ 1GigE ports and 2-4+ 4Gig FC ports per server - complex and still not enough!
Next-generation 10Gig Ethernet (DCB) networks and virtual I/O capabilities allow a unified approach
The Present Paradigm – Consolidation and I/O Challenges.
