Abstract
A modularized computing system includes a plurality of modular components that are coupled together forming a network. Each modular component includes a standard network interface. The system further includes an initialization module, a monitor module, a storage medium, and a management module. As a module unit is coupled to the network, the initialization module automatically configures the component to an operable state. The monitor module monitors network operations including performance parameters of each modular component based on a plurality of system policies. Based on information gathered by the monitor module, the management module actively modifies network structure and resource allocation to optimize network performance.
