[It is exciting to see more companies embrace the concepts of
software defined networks, network virtualization and follow the
wind/follow the sun networks pioneered by CANARIE through its UCLP
(Argia) and Greenstar network initiatives.
Big companies like
Hewlett-Packard, AMD, Ericsson as well as many start-ups such as
ConteXtream, Embrane, Big Switch, and now NIcria are now starting to
deploy this technology. “NTT, which operates data centers around the
world, uses Nicira’s software to move its desktop-as-a-service offering
from data center to data center within Tokyo ahead of rolling brown outs
in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. That’s right, we’re
talking about cloudbursting — or moving a workloads on the fly from one
data center to another.” The Nicria announcement also uses a concept
originally developed by a research project called Mantychore in Europe
where users can purchase virtual network resources as required, rather
than paying for them upfront as a capital resource. These technologies
will play an increasingly important future role in integrated WiFi/3G
networks and enabling integrated remoted data centers as universities
and business start to address the challenge of adapting to climate
change – BSA]
