• Customer Network Challenge

• Agile and Scalable Layer 2 domains to
accommodate VM migrations.
• East-West Bandwidth, result of SOA and VM
migration imperatives – Breaks down traditional
North South architecture

Fiber Channel – Ethernet Convergence (aka FCoE) Not a Barrier
to Sales
• 2010 failed to be the year for large FCoE
deployments Which front end connectivity will be used in the
next 24 months to connect servers to networked
• SAN belongs to the storage group, not ready to storage systems – January 2009
give it to the network group
Infiniband 8%
• Pricing of FCoE infrastructure very high 2G FC 10%
4G FC
• Resulting FCoE Sales are dismal! 21%
8G FC 26%
• Only 108K FCoE ports sold in Q4 2010 FCoE 26%
• Some Analysts now predict iSCSI, not FCoE as 1GigE 28%
the convergence storage protocol 10GigE 48%
0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60%
• Customer Networking Challenges

• Future proof network that can evolve to FCoE and also support iSCSI as the alternative
• Need for low latency, lossless capability for optimum storage performance

4- Technology of the Mesh
Mesh
• Molecular architecture allowing to scale from several hundred servers to
over 10,000 server ports
• Standards based implementation with Shortest Path Bridging (SPB)
• Mesh accounts for East-West and North-South traffic patterns in a unique
scalable manner with <5usec aggregated latency
• Mesh comprises of:
• POD:
• Application clusters reside in the same vicinity, combining them together provides the
best logical segregation and performance
• Up to 240 servers ports with <2usec latency
• POD of PODs:
• Interconnected PODs provide optimized traffic path for servers in same logical domains
• 5 PODs make a POD of PODs with <4usec latency
• Core:
• Provides a path for North-South, Inter DC and Inter POD of PODs traffic

VEPA’s typically don’t do learning

VEB’s do learning, allow local switching
Intent is to use intelligence in the Adjacent
Intent is to allow trusted VM’s to switch directly switch
VM <-> VM switching is allowed, but not uplink VM <-> VM switching is hairpinned through the
<-> uplink to prevent loops. Adjacent switch for policy, ACLs, Security, etc…
VEPA is a collaboration with an a adjacent
switch to provide bridging between hosts in
blades and the network

Standardized Automatic VM discovery
IEEE 802.1Qbg - EVB
• Auto-provisioning of attachment profile VDP

• Auto-discovery of attachment point
• Currently in debate in IEEE on form

• LLDP based approach Network
