	Conventional computing	Cloud computing	DIME computing
			Linux	Parallax
Managed computing entity	Physical server	Virtual server	A process	A Core
Computing network	IP/shared memory/PCI express	IP/shared memory/PCI express	IP/shared memory/PCI express	IP/shared memory/PCI express
Management network	Uses same computing network	Uses same computing network	Parallel signaling network overlay	Parallel signaling network overlay
Computing model	von Neumann Turing machine	von Neumann Turing machine	Managed Turing machine	Managed Turing machine
Server hardware management (FCAPS)	Labor intensive	Automated	Service management decoupled from server management	Service management decoupled from server management
Network hardware management (FCAPS)	labor intensive	Automated	Service management decoupled from network management	Service management decoupled from network management
Storage hardware management (FCAPS)	Labor intensive	Automated	Service management decoupled from storage management	Service management decoupled from storage management
Operating system	Server-centric	Virtual server-centric	Network-centric Process management in nude-centric Linux OS	Network-centric core management transcending physical server boundaries
Service management (FCAPS)	Labor intensive	Automated workflows	Autonomic policy based transaction FCAPS management	Autonomic policy based transaction FCAPS management
Management latency	T(management) >> T(service transaction)	T(management) > T(service transaction)	T(management) = T(service transaction)	T(management) = T(service Transaction)
