"CPU間の大容量光インターコネクトに向けて小型のシリコンフォトニクス光源を開発"
光送受信器の送信部小型化と温度調整機構の不要化により、
大容量光インターコネクトの実現に一歩前進

"株式会社富士通研究所は、CPU間での大容量・高速通信を可能とする光による
インターコネクト（データ伝送）を実現するために必要となる、光送受信器用
の小型シリコンフォトニクス光源を開発しました。
従来は、光送受信器に搭載される、光を放つシリコンフォトニクス光源と、
光源から発せられた光に情報を乗せる光変調器に温度変化が起こった場合、
光源の発振波長と光変調器の動作波長にずれが生じることにより、光に情報が
乗らなくなる懸念がありました。そのため常におたがいの動作波長を一致
させるための温度制御が不可欠でした。今回、光源の波長と光変調器の
動作波長を自動的に一致させる機構を新しく取り入れることで、従来技術では
必要であった温度調整機構を不要とすることに成功しました。この技術により、
光送受信器の送信部において小型化および従来比2分の1の低消費電力化が
可能となります。
今回開発した技術により、小型で低消費電力な光送受信器を CPUパッケージに
搭載可能になります。将来のエクサフロップス級スパコンやハイエンドサーバ
などにおけるCPU間の光インターコネクトへの適用により、超高速コンピュータ
の実現が期待されます。"

"Fusion-io Unveils ioCache Virtualization Solution"
Fusion's ioTurbine Software and Customized ioMemory Accelerator
Virtualizes Flash to Deliver Affordable Performance for
Virtualizing Data-Intensive Enterprise Applications

.....
"When deployed in a VMware environment, Fusion's ioTurbine software
dynamically provisions ioMemory capacity and I/O performance across
multiple virtual machines (VMs) by using Fusion's VSL OS Subsystem
to house and serve data for each VM. Tight integration of VSL's
host-based flash management and ioTurbine's cache management
eliminates otherwise redundant mapping functions, maximizing I/O
performance and adding a critical and previously missing piece
to virtualized IT environments - a plentiful supply of scalable,
low-latency I/O."
"Through this approach, Fusion-io unites the benefits of flash and
cache without the overhead costs created by integrating each
technology through traditional architectures using storage
protocols and embedded processors. This solution avoids the need
for expensive, performance-oriented networked storage systems,
SSD arrays and memory appliances that struggle to deliver
performance from the far end of a network, instead allowing
enterprises to use cost optimized shared storage systems."
.....
"Available exclusively in bundles with ioTurbine software,
Fusion's ioCachedelivers 600GB of capacity optimized to support
the majority of virtualized application workloads. "

"Citrix Opens Up the Cloud for VMware Customers"
Latest Release of CloudStack Brings the Leading Open Source Cloud
Platform to VMware vSphere and OracleVM Users
8/29/2011
http://www.citrix.com/English/NE/news/news.asp?newsID=2315523
"Citrix Systems today announced a new edition of CloudStack, which
will feature enhanced support for both the VMware vSphere and
Oracle VM hypervisors, enabling VMware and Oracle customers
to manage their virtualized servers as a highly available, scalable
cloud computing environment. Citrix CloudStack is not just
a traditional enterprise server virtualization platform with
cloud management layered on top, it is a production-ready, free
and open source cloud infrastructure platform that helps providers
of all types deploy and manage simple, cost-effective cloud services
that are scalable, secure, and open by design. The new release is
based on the same CloudStack solution that has been used by some of
the world's largest and most successful public clouds to roll out
new cloud services up to 50 times faster and at one-fifth the cost
of alternative solutions(1). This is the first release of
the product since Citrix acquired Cloud.com in July."
