In the communication infrastructure, our well proven products are always in use wherever it is a question of professional and undisturbed data, voice, audio and video transmission. Data centre cabling topology The need for high reliability, along with always required cost efficiency, has established a widly accepted cabling concept in recent years which today is well defined in international standards like EN or TIA942. Data centres are split into four levels that help allocate the typical services and applications. The Distribution level is where routers and layer3 switches operate to make dynamic links between the access level with its aggregated data traffic and the customer applications driven from remote places. The Core level in data centres forms the gate - way with firewall functionality to the group of network service providers connecting the data centre to the outside world. The Client level contains devices like a server let it be desk top or rack format or even the modern blades and all kind of storage devices and systems like SAN or NAS, including tape recording devices for backup purposes. Access switches are situated at the next level, made to couple and connect all devices from client level. 2<
3 Data centre structures Every data centre is a unique structure. There are various segments of different requirements which need to be understood before creating any solution. Here we look at the three main applications enterprises, hosts and carriers. Enterprise data centres Enterprise data centres are considered the power house of IT. It s where information streams are aggregated and processed in server s farms, where data are put to storage networks and routed through switches into various other parts of the networks - local and / or global. For some time, data centre operators started changing their facilities in order to create new structures which enable a set of properties with increasing relevance for the future: Establish defined redundancy Coping easier with volume applications (i.e. ) Server consolidation Outsourcing Efficiency improvements Data centre hosts Data centre hosts are affected by these trends to the highest extent. It s because their business is to facilitate IT services for huge user communities rather than a single organisation. In many cases 500 enterprise clients share their services and in some larger data centre hosts even the number of 5000 clients is exceeded. This multiplies the relevance of the above mentioned per formances. Managed hosting facilities are attractive to businesses because they can rent IT infrastructure instead of investing in it themselves. Servers, networks, applications, bandwidth and other equipment are managed by employees of the facility. Carriers Carriers, for some time already, are faced with growing demands in added-value services based on content which has to be provided in the most efficient way. The data centre cabling standards from TIA and CENELEC can help here as well to deliver valuable planning support and create per - forming networks utilizing easily available interfaces from the Ethernet family. This paradigm shift is supported by infrastructure standards, for example like the well established TIA942 or EN Their generic model (figure 1) has been proven in practice and delivers flexible and reliable networks, which perfectly suit specific needs in data centres. > 3
4 Next Generation 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet ready infrastructures Many users are faced with the question how to design their data centre infrastructure in order to ensure continuous operation over the years to come, and when it arrives, upgrading the systems to 40 or even 100 Gigabit Ethernet. This scenario is closer to some data centre operators than many might think. ISPs face already bottlenecks in their data centre backbones and desperately ask for the superior solution. Within the next 3 years first migrations will take place and the infrastructure design has to cope with it. Enterprise data centre operators recognized electronic mail as the key application in order to improve efficiency in their organization. The reported annual growth rate of data traffic is in the range of 25%. Data centre hosts see all these trends raised to a higher power. Hence upgrading is a relevant option to all data centre operators, it s just a matter of time. This means at the client level changing to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and consequently at access level changing to 40 Gigabit Ethernet. The fibre optic interface development of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in 2002 and the twisted pair interface in 2006 made this technology easily available and simple to integrate. Hence the data centre becomes the birthplace of the next generation of Ethernet, which continues a long lasting and sustainable trend, as figure xx proves. 4<
5 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Central question in infrastructure design: what distances have to be maintained? Statistical analyses of a number of representative data centres delivered at Client level a channel length of 20m in average and 95% of the channels within a reach of 70m with only a few to extend to 100m. At Distribution level and similar at Core level the average channel length is approx. 60m, 95% of the channels are shorter than 150m and a few to extend to 300m. 10GBASE- xyz Specifications x = S (short, 850nm) L (long, 1300nm) E (extra long, 1550nm) C (Twinax copper cable) T (Cat6a copper cable) y = W (WAN SONET STM- 192 encoding) R (LAN serial txn & 64B/ 66B encoding) X (LAN CWDM & 8B/ 10B encoding) z = # (number of channels in wavelength division multiplex CWDM) 10GBASE- SR 850nm serial LAN Full 300m reach over laser-optimized OM3 fibre, by use of serially operated efficient VCSEL at 850nm; today the standard in building backbones 10GBASE- LR 1310nm serial LAN 10km reach over serially operated FP-lasers at 1300nm; standard for Metro Ethernet 10GBASE- ER 1550nm serial LAN 40km reach over serially operated lasers at 1550nm; used in long haul applications of transport networks operators 10GBASE- LX4 1310nm WDM LAN Full 300m reach over existing MM fibre without laser specification, complex signal processing makes interface expensive; mainly used for refurbishment purposes 10GBASE- LRM (long reach multimode) Restricted 220m reach over existing MM fibre without laser specification; mainly used for refurbishment purposes 10GBASE- CX4 Restricted 15m reach over Twinax copper cable; used for rack cabling only 10GBASE- T Full 100m reach over standardized Cat6a copper cable with proven RJ45 connectivity Ethernet interface speed over time of implementation 100 Gbit/s 10 Gbit/s 1 Gbit/s ATM UNI FC 10GBase-T!00BaseT 100 Mbit/s FDDI!00BaseTX Übertragungsrate 10 Mbit/s 1 Mbit/s 100 Kbit/s IBM 3270 Ethernet V.11(RS422) Token Ring ATM 10 Kbit/s 1 Kbit/s V.24(RS232) > 5
6 What s needed to meet future data centre requirements? Copper cabling In highly concentrated data centre networks, at server level (Client), the key is to maximize utilization of available pathways, racks and spaces rather than to go for maximum permissible channel length. The required channels of 20m to 60m average distances give room for optimized designs in cable. For this application Draka has developed the new UC Future program which contains slim cable designs based on existing work area cable standards, which are perfect for zone cabling in data centres because of these characteristics: Up to 100% higher packing density in cable trays Fully compliant with established cable standards PIMF design to eliminate any Alien-Xtalk interferences Full 10GBase-T performance over a channel distance of 70m Especially at Client level bulky cabling forms a serious barrier to air ventilation, literally one of the hot topics in data centres due to growing packing density in server racks and the need to offload the high amount of heat dissipated by all the electronics. Slim designs at server level like the blade technology should be consequently transferred to slim cabling. The advantages of the new cable design can be leveraged to most suitable slim-design connectivity products which give new opportunities for extended customer specific service concepts. Minimum required transmission performance of cable and cabling is Cat6 A and/or Class EA. The rational is to ensure easy migration of services to 10GBase-T, for which cable standards based on various technologies were made. Using 10 Gigabit Ethernet in data centres puts the attention to additional aspects: Products have shorter life cycles than in enterprise networks The entire Infrastructure (building, electricity, access protection etc.) is much better defined than in office buildings The packing density of installations is by far higher Each of these factors promote the choice for future proof PIMF cable design, users of which enjoy high transmission performance headroom along with its immunity against Alien-Xtalk. It s the perfect fit to all the other devices and systems in a data centre. 6<
7 Fibre Infrastructure requirements Data centre backbones are already equipped with optical fibre technology. It is state-of-the-art and offers lowest attenuation at highest data rates which is a prerequisite for backbone data links. With data centres it forms one of the most demanded components due to the highly aggregated data traffic there. As soon as 10 Gigabit Ethernet comes to the agenda at Client level, a data centre backbone capable of 10GbE to link between Access and Distribution level turns into a real bottleneck. Despite the fact copper data cable is capable covering a distance of up to 100m at 10Gbit/s, the preference in this place should be laser optimized multimode fibre according to OM3 specification. Today s recommendation is clearly to take this future proof solution, which is the only short link technology that is also part of the 40 Gigabit Ethernet and likewise 100GbE development program, which will be based on multi lane structures of OM3 channel links. A data centre backbone in OM3 can therefore be easily expanded to the Next Generation Ethernet and secures investments a longer pack-off time. Draka s patented PCVD fibre manufacturing technology enables high-precision refractive index profiles which are the key to laser launched high-speed links. This makes the difference between MaxCap300 exceeding by far OM3 specifications and traditional multimode fibres like OM1 and OM2. This fibre technology is available in Draka cable designs to meet the specific needs of data centre infrastructures, be it be a single core cable or the popular shotgun cable design with figure-8 shape, the break-out cable for multiple fan outs or loose tube cable design with high fibre counts for trunk lines. More and more in use is the MPO-style optical fibre connector, which requires small cables to fit the planar structure of its fibre management as well as its outer dimensions. Draka s specially designed MPO cable is made for interconnects of 40GBase-SR4 channels which is one of the next options into a data centre s infrastructure of the future.
