Data Center Deployment Guide Revision: H2CY10 The Purpose of this Guide Assets for Related Documents Mapping Font is Cisco Bold Collaboration Within the Cisco Smart Business Architecture (SBA) for Midsize Organizations Borderless Networks Foundation Deployment Guide, the Server Room module accommodates up to 24 physical servers That design provides basic computing and storage capability for business operations Enterprise To reflect our ease-of-use principle, this guide is organized You into modules You are Here are Here You can start at the beginning or jump to any module Each part of the guide is designed to stand alone, so you can deploy the Cisco technology for that section without having to complete the previous module You are Here Data Center The specific products that make up this design are listed at the end of this The Data Center for Midsize Organizations described in this guide can document for your convenience A separate SBA document, Data Center easily replace the server room in the SBA foundation architecture for for Midsize Organizations Configuration Files Guide, contains the specific more advanced business operations and applications This will provide an configuration files from the products used in the Cisco lab testing and can architecture designed to accommodate growth of the server farm up to 250 Smart Business Borderless Networksbe found on Cisco.com Mid Size physical or virtual servers Architecutre Use this guide as an addendum to the Cisco SBA Borderless Networks for Midsize Organizations Foundation Deployment Guide and as a “snap-In” replacement for the Server Room module As with the Cisco SBA Borderless Networks for Midsize Organizations Foundation Deployment Guide, this guide is a prescriptive reference design that provides step-by-step instructions for the deployment of the design It is based on enterprise best practice principles, yet delivered in a design and cost structure for midsize organizations that are growing and expanding Based on feedback from customers and partners, Cisco has developed a solid network foundation as a flexible platform that does not require reengineering to include additional network or user services Tech Ti p If this design does not scale to meet your needs, please refer to the Cisco Validated Designs (CVD) for larger data center deployment models CVDs can be found on Cisco.com
