2 Agenda Data Center Fabric Design Principles and Industry Trends Data Center Fabric Design Evolution and Main Characteristics Extending Data Center Fabric 2

3 Data Center Fabric Design Principles Industry Trends High scalability and high throughput - Flexible deployment models using 10Gb, 40Gb and 100Gb speeds High availability, resilience and low fate sharing - No domino effect Low and predictable latency/response time - Ultra low latency for HFT and Financials Support for concurrent diverse workloads - Virtualized and non-virtualized Workload mobility - Resource based workload placement 3

4 Data Center Fabric Design Principles Industry Trends Segmentation, isolation and multi-tenancy - Cloud and non-cloud Visibility and Manageability - Management simplicity and infrastructure transparency Automation and Provisioning - Infrastructure provisioning workflows, APIs and SDN Disaster Recovery - Geo resiliency Evolve physical facilities with network architecture - Green architecture 4

5 Life Used to Be Easy Layer 3 Layer 2 Routed Domain Aggregation Aggregation Spanning Tree Access Servers POD 1 Core Spanning Tree Access Servers POD n Layer 3 Layer 2 Multilayer Design POD - Access, Aggregation and Core Layer2/Layer3 boundary at the Aggregation Layer - VLAN scope Spanning Tree driven - Special features to keep topology stable Routed interconnect between the PODs - OSPF, EIGRP 5

6 Or was it Wasted North- South Bandwidth 50% with active/standby links Aggregation Core Aggregation Rigid management framework Power and cooling hoggers Lots of cross-rack server cabling Difficult to troubleshoot Many protocol extensions Prone to outages Layer 2 loops Access Servers Access Servers Limited crosssectional East-West Bandwidth Limited application mobility scope (server virtualization) 6
