Fabric Systems, MPP, and SMP Compute Power
Source: Blog: Dan E. Linstedt [link]
I recently attended the Oracle Open-World show, it was well put together. The vendor floor was extremely busy. I learned a little bit about some up and coming technology called FABRIC SYSTEMS. There are a few vendors out there (it seems) trying to make a go of it. As a result of learning about fabric based systems, I’m going on a quest to learn more. What I learn, I will share here - because I believe that these types of systems will change the landscape as well.
Fabric based systems seem to have MPP in mind, but allow the individual SMP’s units to act together. They appear to be scalable, and high powered.
