1 Data Centre Link Survey Alan Flatman Principal Consultant LAN Technologies, UK Contribution to IEEE 82.3ba Higher Speed Ethernet Task Force Jan 8, Portland, OR

2 Survey Objectives 1. establish length distribution requirements for Higher Speed Ethernet links 2. establish link speed & connectivity requirements 3. focus on recent data centre designs/installations 4. provide greater granularity for the first m of horizontal/client links than existing studies 5. assess level of standards compliance for cabling 6. examine differences to existing cabling studies

3 Flatman Cabling Surveys for IEEE 82.3 July 1999 In-premises Optical Fibre Deployment to Jan 3 Installed Copper Cabling Forecast to end 5 July 3 Installed Horizontal Cabling Length Distribution (office & medium-sized data centre) Mar 4 In-premises Optical Fibre Installed Base to 7

4 Data Centre Network Infrastructure Storage Storage Servers Clients Access LAN/NAS/SAN switches Distribution Routers/L3 switches Core Gateways/Firewalls

5 Data Centre Cabling Standards EIA/TIA-942: Data Centre Cabling» published in 5 CENELEC EN : Data Centre Cabling» approved early 7 ISO/IEC 24764: Data Centre Cabling» based on CENELEC EN » approval anticipated in 8
