ToDo

There may be some useful information in the old data center fabric article (which was entirely unreferenced and read like an essay and/or copyvio). -- samj _in^out 19:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a vapid marketing article that doesn't provide any real information about the topic. It should be removed as inconsequential. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markhahn (talk • contribs) 23:38, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate?

How does this term differ from 'cloud' computing or does it? Slashdottir (talk) 16:27, 27 December 2014 (UTC)slashdottir[reply]

Usage

Does anyone outside Cisco use this term? We talk about "the fabric" but that tends to mean the physical wiring in "the farm"; the datacentre, but that's just it, the wiring; doesn't impact what you run on the nodes, which often tends to be large Hadoopy-like things or VM-managers.
