Converged Cloud Infrastructure

Comments on 'Converged Cloud Infrastructure'

  That's a big question - looking to compare apples, oranges, bananas and lemons (perhaps lemon is the wrong fruit to put in this mix, but you get the picture).
  I have written a number of wiki entries and blog posts on NetApp FlexPod, VCE Vblock and HP Converged Infrastructure. We have also covered Oracle's environment which I would list in a different category as it is primarily for running Oracle apps. Dell has been updating its offering and I expect to write more on it soon. As far as I've found, IBM's CloudStart has not seen much traction in the real world and is not one of IBM's primary initiatives, so it has fallen outside of my coverage.
  To read more - I would recommend using the Wikibon search box - put in the product name and you should find a number of articles on the product.
  One article that covers 3 of the converged stacks is here: http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/Convergence_Moves_Up_the_Stack_to_Applications_and_Greater_IT_Efficiency
  
  If you have specific questions, I'm happy to investigate - comment on this post, any of my articles or shoot me a note: stu at wikibon dot org.

  Stuart,
  
  Thanks for answering the question.
  
  I have few queries regarding the same.
  
  1) Why do you say that I am comparing apples, oranges, bananas and lemons?
  What I understood was that the above mentioned products were all converged infrastructure stacks (similar products). The following article compares the products — http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/Converged_Infrastructure_and_the_Rule_of_One
  Please guide me as to why these products are different?
  
  2) Also, since I am trying to compare these products, please indicate what aspects I can compare them on. Please also indicate where I can find information related to the same.
