Virtualization Convergence of Storage Server Network in Data Center & Enterprise

July 31, 2010 - PRLog -- Fractioned uniquely converges desktop, server, storage and network into an “All-in-One” server, storage, switch and router called Cohesion Node (CNode).

CNodes are enabled with the Fractioned Cohesion Architecture.

CNodes allow true Virtual Supercomputing with fully virtualized infrastructure re-defining the performance and cost dynamics with the use of open-source software and high-performance commodity hardware.

CNodes are architected specifically in accordance to your needs and put you in full control by eliminating expensive licenses, vendor lock-ins and proprietary traps. You have the full freedom of choosing your components for on-demand scalability.

If you need linear scalability at a commodity price with the flexibility of full customization, then Fractioned has the answer.

*** High-Level Convergence with CNodes ***

->   As a Server, a CNode can host both server and desktop CNode virtual machines with 32 - 128 vCPUs

->   As Storage, a CNode can provide heterogeneous shared-nothing and shared storage at the same time comprising Solid State, SATA and SAS disks.

Storage can be provisioned to CNode VMs internally and to any other existing physical & virtual infrastructure with NFS, SMB/CIFS and SSHFS.

Volume management, high availability (real-time n-way replication between multiple CNodes), with automatic real-time self healing are provided in a single global namespace with parallel I/O.

->   As a Switch and Router, a CNode can provide heterogeneous physical network interfaces like Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, Infiniband and SCI, and can interoperate both physical & virtual infrastructure and disparate heterogeneous networks.
