Techniques for a motion-based online interactive platform are described. The platform makes a motion-based online class realistic and allows a teacher to visualize motions performed by a student in a perspective and how close the motion is in view of an authoritative instructor (model). Each of computing devices used respectively by students is coupled to or includes a camera, where the camera is used by a student to show his/her presence or poses he/she performs. Data streams from the computing devices are received in a control computer associated with the teacher, where each of the data streams includes a video and a set of sensing data. A 3D avatar of a student is generated from the sensing data in the control computer and may be shown alone or along with an avatar of an instructor or model to visualize any differences between the student and the model in reference to a pose or motion.

Intelligent services are provided in a storage network using intelligent service modules that can be cabled to a switch external to the switch chassis and yet be managed as part of the switch's logical domain. Data and management communications between the intelligent service module and the core switch are provided through a 'soft-backplane' implemented using in-band communications through cabling attached between the switch and the intelligent service module rather than through a hardwired backplane within the chassis. Management communications from management software is directed to the switch, which handles the management functions relating to the intelligent service module or forwards the management requests to the intelligent service module for processing.
