Is Fabric Computing the Future of the Cloud?

According to a recent report, over 50% of attendees at the recent Datacenter Summit had implemented, or are in the process of implementing, fabric computing.

It is time to take a look at what fabric computing means for software and for (cloud) computing as a whole.  In a recent blog post by Gregor Petri of CA Technologies, he describes how 'fabric computing' involves the creation of inter-connected nodes, that when viewed collectively from a distance, can appear as a 'fabric' or 'weave'.  This visualizes high performance computing and provides a consolidated view of loosely coupled storage, networking and parallel processing functions linked by high bandwidth.  To learn more from Gregor's blog, click here.
