- 0:06considerations
- 0:09this section describes general
- 0:11enterprise data center design
- 0:13considerations
- 0:15and provides an overview of the general
- 0:18technologies and models
- 0:19used in an enterprise data center
- 0:25server centric to service center
- 0:30so this server-centric data center model
- 0:32is evolving
- 0:33into a service-centric model
- 0:37well the evolution includes the
- 0:40deployment of the virtual machine
- 0:42software
- 0:43such as a vmware and zen
- 0:47which breaks the one-to-one relationship
- 0:49between the applications
- 0:51and the server hardware and operating
- 0:53systems on which they run
- 0:56so virtual machine software allows
- 0:58multiple
- 0:59applications to run on a single server
- 1:01independent of each
- 1:02other and of the underlying operating
- 1:05system
- 1:07so the removal of storage from the
- 1:09server
- 1:10consolidating it in a storage spools
- 1:14so network storage such as the sun okay
- 1:16or the storage area networks
- 1:18allows easier management provisioning
- 1:22improved utilization and consistent
- 1:24recovery practices
- 1:26so the creation of pools of one-way
- 1:30two-way or four-way servers that can be
- 1:33pulled and provisioned
- 1:34on demand so the consolidation
- 1:37of the io resources so that the i o
- 1:40can be pulled and provisioned on demand
- 1:44for connectivity to other servers
- 1:46storage
- 1:47and land pools
- 1:51the cisco enterprise data center
- 1:53architecture framework
- 1:55so the consolidation and virtualization
- 1:58of data center resources
- 2:00requires highly scalable resilient
- 2:03secure data center network foundation
- 2:06so as described in the previous video
- 2:10applying methodology to a network design
- 2:13the cisco sona or the service oriented
- 2:15network architecture framework
- 2:17defines how enterprises can evolve
- 2:20towards intelligence in the network that
- 2:22optimizes applications
- 2:25business processes and resources
- 2:28so the cisco enterprise data center
- 2:31architecture
- 2:32based on sauna provides organizations
- 2:36with framework to address immediate data
- 2:38center demands
- 2:40for consolidation and business
- 2:42continuance
- 2:44while enabling emergence okay
- 2:47virtualization and on-demand computing
- 2:50technologies in the data center
- 2:52so this cisco enterprise data center
- 2:55architecture
- 2:56as illustrated on this diagram here
- 2:59aligns data center resources with
- 3:03business applications and provides
- 3:06multiple resources to end users in an
- 3:09enterprise
- 3:10so the cisco enterprise data center
- 3:13architecture has the following layers
- 3:15so basically you'll have there the
- 3:18network infrastructure layer
- 3:21so meets all the bandwidth latency
- 3:25and protocol requirements for user to
- 3:27server
- 3:28server to server and server to storage
- 3:31connectivity
- 3:32and communications in a modular
- 3:35hierarchical structure so the next one
- 3:38would be the interactive services layer
- 3:40so which provides
- 3:43a hierarchical okay infrastructure
- 3:47services
- 3:48that ensure the fast and secure
- 3:51alignment of resources with application
- 3:54requirements
- 3:54and cisco application networking
- 3:57services or ants
- 3:59that optimize application integration
- 4:02and the delivery of applications to end
- 4:04users
- 4:05[Music]
- 4:08let's have an example this is a data
- 4:10center network topology
- 4:11this illustrates example high
- 4:13performance data center network topology
- 4:17that requires many technologies and
- 4:19connectivity options among applications
- 4:21and data centers
- 4:23so this network topology provides
- 4:26connectivity services
- 4:28for network elements within the data
- 4:30center
- 4:31such as servers and storage as well as
- 4:35to external users or other data centers
- 4:40enterprise data center infrastructure
- 4:42overview
- 4:44so this figure here shows a typical
- 4:47large
- 4:48enterprise data center infrastructure
- 4:50design
- 4:51so the design follows the multi-layer
- 4:54infrastructure architecture
- 4:56including the core aggregation
- 4:59and access layers okay so we've got four
- 5:03aggregation and of course our access
- 5:06layer here
- 5:09now the data center infrastructure must
- 5:11provide port density
- 5:13and layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity for
- 5:16servers
- 5:18at the access layer while supporting
- 5:20security
- 5:22services provided by access lists or
- 5:24acls
- 5:26firewalls ips okay at the data center
- 5:30aggregation layer
- 5:32it must support server farm services
- 5:35such as content switching
- 5:37caching and secure socket layer or the
- 5:41ssl okay so
- 5:46well that secure socket layer is
- 5:48basically used in the web access
- 5:50offloading while integrating with a
- 5:53multi-tier
- 5:54server farms mainframes
- 5:58and mainframe services okay so with load
- 6:01balancing and
- 6:03ssl offloading now
- 6:06network devices are often deployed in
- 6:10redundant pairs
- 6:12to avoid a single point of failure so if
- 6:14you will observe
- 6:15you've got redundancy among connectivity
- 6:17you've got
- 6:18aggregation on this on a part here okay
- 6:21under the
- 6:22data center aggregation you also have
- 6:25link aggregation
- 6:26on the data center core and you have
- 6:29some sort of redundancy
- 6:34data center access layer so what do we
- 6:37have here
- 6:38so the data center access layer provides
- 6:40layer 2
- 6:42layer 3 and mainframe connectivity
- 6:46the design of the data center access
- 6:48layer varies depending on whether layer
- 6:502 or layer 2 access switches are used
- 6:53so it is typically built with high
- 6:55performance
- 6:57low latency layer 2 switches
- 7:00allowing better sharing of service
- 7:03devices across multiple servers
- 7:06and allowing the use of the layer 2
- 7:08clustering
- 7:09which requires the server to be a layer
- 7:12to adjacent
- 7:14so with layer two access switches the
- 7:16default gateway for the servers cannot
- 7:18be configured at the access or
- 7:20aggregation layer
- 7:22so servers can be single or
- 7:26dual attached okay so with dual attached
- 7:29nic's
- 7:31in the server a vlan or trunk is
- 7:33required between the two redundant
- 7:35access layer switches
- 7:37to support having a single ip address
- 7:40on the two server links to two separate
- 7:44switches so the default gateway is
- 7:48implemented
- 7:49at the axis layer it makes up both
- 7:53layer two and layer three axis switches
- 7:56using one wrap unit or one ru
- 7:59okay and modular platforms
- 8:02in a flexible solution and allows
- 8:05application environments to be optimally
- 8:10positioned
- 8:12density and scalability implications
- 8:15so some scaling issues in the data
- 8:17center relate
- 8:18to physical environment the typical
- 8:21enterprise data center experiences
- 8:24high growth in the sheer number of
- 8:27servers
- 8:28at the same time server density has been
- 8:31improved
- 8:32with one ru and blade server solutions
- 8:35so three particular challenges result
- 8:38from
- 8:38this trend so you've got the cabling
- 8:42okay or cable bulb typically
- 8:45three to four interfaces are connected
- 8:47on the server
- 8:48with a higher density of servers per
- 8:50wrap
- 8:52so cable routing and management can
- 8:55become
- 8:56quite difficult
- 8:59next would be power
- 9:02so the increased density of components
- 9:04in a wrap
- 9:05is driving a need for a larger power
- 9:08feed
- 9:08to the wrap so many data centers do not
- 9:11have the power capacity
- 9:13at the server rows to support price
- 9:16increase
- 9:17and the last one is cooling system or
- 9:20the cooling
- 9:22the number of cables lying under
- 9:25and raised floor and the
- 9:29cable bulk at the cabinet base entry is
- 9:31blocking the airflow
- 9:33required to pull the equipment in the
- 9:36wraps
- 9:37so at the same time the servers in the
- 9:40wrap
- 9:40require more cooling volume because of
- 9:43their
- 9:44high density so basically
- 9:48these challenges have forced the
- 9:50customers to find alternative solutions
- 9:53by spacing cabinets modifying cable
- 9:56routes
- 9:57and other means including not deploying
- 10:00high density server solutions
- 10:06defining the data center aggregation
- 10:08layer
- 10:09so the data center aggregation or
- 10:11distribution layer
- 10:13aggregates the uplinks from the access
- 10:16layer
- 10:17okay to the data center core layer
- 10:20and is the critical point for control
- 10:23and application services
- 10:25so security and applications
- 10:29such as load balancing devices
- 10:32ssl of loading devices firewalls
- 10:35ips so that provides layer 4
- 10:39through layer 7 services and are often
- 10:42deployed as
- 10:43module in the aggregation layer
- 10:47okay like service modules here now this
- 10:50highly flexible design
- 10:52takes advantage of the economies of
- 10:54scale
- 10:55by lowering the total cost of ownership
- 10:57or pco
- 10:59and reducing complexity by reducing the
- 11:01number of components to configure and
- 11:02manage
- 11:04so service devices deployed
- 11:09at the aggregation layer are shared
- 11:12among
- 11:12all the servers where a service device
- 11:15is deployed
- 11:17at the access layer benefit only the
- 11:19servers that are directly attached to
- 11:21the specific
- 11:22access switch
- 11:27defining the data center core layer
- 11:30so implementing a data center core layer
- 11:33is
- 11:34a best practice for large data centers
- 11:37so the following should be taken into
- 11:39consideration
- 11:40when determining whether the core is
- 11:43appropriate
- 11:45so first you've got a 10 gigabit
- 11:47ethernet port density
- 11:49so without the data center core will
- 11:52there be enough
- 11:5310 gb ethernet ports on the campus score
- 11:56switch
- 11:57where to support both the campus
- 11:59building distribution layer and
- 12:00in the data center aggregation layer
- 12:04next would be the administrative domains
- 12:07and policies so separate campus
- 12:11and data center cores help isolate the
- 12:14campus building distribution layers
- 12:17from data center aggregation layers for
- 12:19troubleshooting maintenance
- 12:22administration and implementation of
- 12:25policies using the quality of service
- 12:26and access lists
- 12:29next would be anticipation of the future
- 12:32development
- 12:34so the impact that could result from
- 12:37implementing
- 12:38a separate data center core layer at a
- 12:41layer date
- 12:42okay or at a later date might
- 12:45make it worthwhile to install it
- 12:49at the beginning so the data center
- 12:52typically connects
- 12:53to the campus core using a layer three
- 12:55links okay
- 12:57the data center network addresses are
- 13:00summarized into the campus core
- 13:02and the campus core injects a default
- 13:04route
- 13:05into the data center network
- 13:08so key data center core layer
- 13:11characteristics includes the following
- 13:14okay so you've got the distributed
- 13:16forwarding architecture
- 13:18low latency switching 10 gb
- 13:21ethernet scalability and scalable ip
- 13:25multicast
- 13:26support
- 13:29so to summarize the enterprise data
- 13:32center design considerations
- 13:34so enterprise data centers support
- 13:37a rich set of applications and servers
- 13:41so the sauna-based cisco enterprise data
- 13:43center architecture
- 13:45provides a modular hierarchical approach
- 13:49to align data center resources with
- 13:52small business applications
- 13:56so the enterprise campus and data center
- 13:58design review
- 13:59so analyze the organizational
- 14:01requirements
- 14:03so type of applications traffic volume
- 14:06and traffic patterns so redundancy and
- 14:10backup
- 14:12will be needed okay so you have the
- 14:14options
- 14:15like different protocols used for
- 14:17redundancy
- 14:20characterize the existing network and
- 14:22sites so technology used
- 14:24and location of hosts servers
- 14:27terminals and other endnotes
- 14:31develop enterprise campus and enterprise
- 14:33data center network designs
- 14:35so based on requirements implement two
- 14:39or three hierarchical layers
- 14:41so select the hardware and software
- 14:43components to support
- 14:45requirements
- 14:48now to summarize the entire module
- 14:51the campus network design is influenced
- 14:54by
- 14:54application environmental and
- 14:57infrastructure device characteristics
- 15:01an enterprise campus network is
- 15:02conducted hierarchically
- 15:05with building access building
- 15:07distribution
- 15:08and campus corridors an enterprise
- 15:12data center network is constructed
- 15:14hierarchically
- 15:15with data center access data center
- 15:19aggregation and data center

- 15:26that's the end of this video i hope you
- 15:29have learned something from this
