Abstract: Described herein are various technologies pertaining to a computing system architecture that facilitates construction of virtual motherboards and virtual storage devices. A computing system includes a plurality of computing nodes and a plurality of storage nodes, where the computing nodes are disaggregated from the storage nodes. The computing nodes include respective system on chip modules. The computing nodes and the storage nodes are communicatively coupled by way of a full bisection bandwidth network, where each storage node is allocated network bandwidth that at least matches the maximum input/output speed of the storage node. Responsive to receipt of a client request, computing nodes are allocated to the client and exposed to an application of the client as a motherboard. Likewise, storage nodes are allocated to the client and exposed to the application of the client as a larger storage device.

Abstract: A computing system architecture that facilitates constructing a virtual disk that is customized for an application is described herein. An exemplary computing system having such architecture includes a first plurality of homogeneous storage servers, each storage server in the first plurality of storage servers comprising respective data storage devices of a first type. The exemplary computing system also includes a second plurality of homogeneous storage servers, each storage server in the second plurality of storage servers comprising respective data storage devices of a second type. A virtual disk that is customized for an application is constructed by mapping a linear (virtual) address space to portions of storage devices across the first plurality of storage servers and the second plurality of storage servers. The storage servers are accessible over a full bisection bandwidth network.
