Abstract
Various embodiments are directed toward improving computing performance for data intensive computing applications by arranging a physical machine into a single computing appliance that includes tightly coupled dedicated computation and storage resources that may scale to multiple peta-byte or greater storage in concert with providing a similarly scaling computing and data caching platform, monitoring co-resident guest applications, and data access applications. Generally, the computing appliance may be arranged to execute compute applications and data storage applications in a single self-contained computing device. The data storage applications may execute within virtual machines (VM's) and the compute applications may execute in other co-resident VM's residing one or more computing appliances.
