Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture comprising processor-readable storage media are provided for implementing converged infrastructure systems with computing elements distributed over server nodes, network nodes, and storage media nodes. For example, a computing system includes application server nodes, network switch nodes, and storage media nodes. The storage media nodes include persistent storage elements to store data. The network switch nodes are configured to enable communication between the application server nodes and the storage media nodes, and to enable communication between the storage media nodes. The application server, network switch, and storage media nodes are configured to implement a converged infrastructure, wherein the converged infrastructure includes compute elements distributed over the application server, network switch, and storage media nodes. The distributed compute elements are configured to collaboratively control and coordinate data processing functions within the converged infrastructure.
