Building a future-oriented network infrastructure

Some technical inflection points are fundamentally changing how data center networks are built, deployed, and run on storage, public and private clouds. As users turn to a new generation of more stable networks, thinking patterns change. Today, it is more important for the network to handle a large number of existing applications, such as database-driven applications and Windows applications, in a standardized cloud architecture. With the rapid development of end-user and application requirements, new ways of working are spawned to build a data center network. Network stability has become a key consideration for enterprise users. 498) this.width=498 ' OnMouseWheel = ' javascript:return big (This) ' Width= "595" height= "440" border= "0" alt= "src=" http ://s9.51cto.com/wyfs02/m01/1e/16/wkiol1mzaerarp9baaegi8gkmco540.jpg "/> Should adopt an open, standards-based, Interoperable full Ethernet fabric architecture to build network infrastructure and next-generation data centers. The full Ethernet fabric architecture for data center networks includes high bandwidth, low latency, multipath connectivity, high elasticity, and support for networked and converged storage that reduces tiering and network hops. Data center networks can also evolve based on virtualization intelligence and access to energy-efficient systems that increase performance while using less space and power. Enterprises that upgrade to the next generation Ethernet fabric architecture based on 10G and 40G speeds should consider three standards. Avoid costly vendor lock-in from patented technology, thereby improving long-term costs and reliability. Reduce "bundled" data center infrastructure (switches, routers, rack servers, and power supplies) to achieve efficiencies while seeking low latency and resiliency for converged storage and sensitive applications. With the full Ethernet Fabric Data Center architecture, multiple operational features are key to building a successful data center fabric solution. First is flexibility, leveraging trill and mlag techniques for a variety of effective links. The Ethernet fabric is formed by configuring the interconnection of the devices to meet specific business requirements. Because of the requirements of HIPAA, the datacenter should have proper physical control. From an operational point of view, this means deciding what resources to protect: a fabric that protects only the edge switch is different from the fabric that protects both the top and the end-line switches. Some of these controls include redundancy of all systems to ensure that data is readily available, which can be achieved through Mlag technology by adding links without affecting the service. Next is the linkage of the data plane, in which identity management and network virtualization technology is very important. Fabric must respond to changes withoutOnly in the topology and to be responsive to content. If a virtual machine is activated or a new storage array is online, the fabric must be configured to respond to the presence of data center elements. An open control plane is necessary: The Software definition network is an important area in which the open fabric contains a mixed allocation of resources. Includes elements such as relatively static, upstream linking and storage that are assigned to the datacenter, and some resources that are logically controlled outside the data tier. The network administrator must make a clear distribution of this. Finally, the Open fabric Builder must seek a system that realizes energy saving. An average power consumption per million port low to 5W, can achieve a green operating system. By using Data center switch solutions that support industry standards and protocols rather than proprietary solutions, organizations can build an evolving network that optimizes total cost of ownership and delivers the need to grow and expand as it transitions to a 10/40/100g optimized network architecture. With these future-oriented strategies, long-term network stability will be more likely to help companies find the rationale for adopting cloud infrastructure. With the development of the Times, the scalability of the cloud infrastructure will continue to increase, before the impact of the next generation of technology inflection point, will enable more enterprise users.
