Cloud ComputingIT resources and services that are abstracted from the

underlying infrastructure and provided “on-demand” and “at scale” in a multi-tenant environment.

To some, clouds are associated with an off premise, hosted model…


Cloud Computing – Service CategoriesSoftware as a Service:Applications services delivered over the network on a subscription basis

Platform as a Service:Software development frameworks and components delivered over the network on a pay-as-you-go basis

Infrastructure as a Service:Compute, network and storage delivered over the network on a pay-as-you-go basis

What is SR-IOV about? Single Root IO Virtualization (SR-IOV) allows “virtualizing” the 10 GigE

link (via the PCI-Express bus) into multiple “virtual links”. SR-IOV is a PCI-Sig standard In other words you can create multiple “vmnics” each with its own

bandwidth allocation
