Cisco Public Server Deployment Models Data Center Server Deployment over the Years ƒ Rack-Optimized 1/2/4 RU individually managed devices Management packages for some level of automation Dual Power, Dual SAN, Mgmt, Prod, etc create 8+ I/O per server ƒ Blade Enclosures More efficient cabling and power usage (concentrated) Multiple I/O topologies within and external to the chassis Miniaturization for Memory, Mezz Cards, I/O Modules Management of chassis and blades, some higher level tie-ins ƒ Rack Enclosures Packaged compute rack concept with localized flows Grow racks and I/O modules in rack to scale Management on a per-rack or multirack basis BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved Cisco Public Server Deployment Models Data Center LAN Connectivity over the years ƒ Pre-Wire racks with bundles of Cat5/6 cabling 48-96 runs per rack of copper and panels on ends Under floor tray infrastructure to support this wiring Top of Rack switching can help reduce ƒ Multiple copper server connections Management interface 2-6 (or more) production interfaces Backup interface Hypervisor console and kernel interfaces ƒ Multiple data network connections Single default gateway issues BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved Cisco Public Server Deployment Models Data Center SAN Connectivity over the years ƒ Pre-Wire racks with bundles of fiber cabling 12-36 strands per rack with panels at ends Combinations of MM or SM fiber to rack with panels Under floor tray infrastructure (90º to copper) Top of Rack SAN Edge switching can help reduce (NPV) ƒ Requirements to connect to different SAN fabrics more difficult to realize BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved Cisco Public Server Deployment Models Data Center Virtual Machine Infrastructures ƒ Hypervisor abstracting physical devices Soft Switc h Physical NIC’s and HBA’s shared on Virtual Machines Switching inside hypervisor for VM – VM communication paths Hypervisor Soft Switch Virtual Virtual Virtual Machine Machine Machine Hypervisor Soft Switch Virtual Virtual Virtual Machine Machine Machine This switching looses many of the Data Center edge switching functionality Nexus 1000v switching can help with management and flow visibility ƒ Requirements to change or abandon the management models of infrastructure in a non-virtualized environment Toolsets point at interfaces where cables attach VN-Link addresses this in a virtual environment BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved Cisco Public Unified I/O Review Benefits in Consolidation of I/O ƒ Reduction in server adapter and interface counts Cisco Data Center Ethernet allows fewer adapter’s to purchase and populate SAN A SAN B Less power drawn within the server possible ƒ Reduction in LAN and SAN edge ports LAN Less edge infrastructure to purchase and maintain Less power drawn within these Data Center network devices ƒ Reduction in physical cabling costs Elimination of copper runs under the floor to racks Reduction of fiber runs to the rack Reduction in cabling errors as count goes down BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved Cisco Public How Unified I/O Integrates with UCS UCS Benefits by Virtualizing the I/O ƒ Data Center Ethernet is intra-UCS fabric technology ƒ Granular control of the converged fabric for benefits on prior slide Fewer adapters/mezzanines on servers Fewer I/O modules to purchase and maintain Ethernet FC traffic Quality of Service metrics for entire fabric Metered on-ramps for adapters into fabric Visibility down to physical and virtual adapters ƒ Interfaces to existing Data Center LAN and SAN infrastructures unchanged BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights reserved Cisco Public How Unified I/O Integrates with UCS LAN Interface Uniqueness when Virtualizing the I/O ƒ Blade adapters or virtual machine vNICs known within DCE fabric DMZ Segment DMZ Segment ƒ Ability to define UCS points of entry into Data Center LAN Regardless of location within UCS Physical or virtual machine mobility does not change the mapping Border Ports Pinned Border Port ƒ Multiple networks can be accessed from a given UCS Possible use case: Multi-VRF data center edge for segmentation L2 flows switched within UCS but “pinned” to border ports BRKCOM-2988_c2 © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc All rights
