Cell-based architecture has emerged as a response to many challenges associated with distributed systems. It employs the bulkhead pattern to isolate failures and can help organize large architectures.

Server models supported by this new architecture currently include the System x3850 X6 four-socket system, System x3950 X6 eight-socket system, and the IBM Flex System x880 scalable compute nodes. IBM ...

Distributed infrastructure, when managed deliberately, doesn’t have to become a barrier. It becomes a catalyst. Elastic systems allow teams to localize deployments without fragmenting control.

With the convergence of telecom/datacom switching centers and traditional LAN and Internet-based data centers, a distributed server architecture based on “blades” is emerging. Traditionally, a server ...

In today’s data landscape, a distributed architecture is driven by the need for real-time insights, compliance, and the scalability provided by cloud computing, with organizations increasingly ...

This architecture, often referred to as a “memory-centric architecture,” can be built using a distributed ACID and ANSI-99 SQL-compliant disk store deployed on spinning disks, solid state ...

Housed at the university's headquarters in College Station, Texas, the server farm is a mix of Compaq ProLiant DL360 and DL380 servers, and is home to the Microsoft Visual Basic -written class ...
