Cisco Data Center

What is a Data Center (DC)?Rooms or Facilities that Contain Critical Computing Resources:

In a Controlled Environment

Under Centralized Management

Supporting Business Needs 24 x 7 x 365

Computing Resources:

Mainframes, Web Servers, Application Servers, File & Print Servers, Messaging Servers, Application Software and the Operating Systems that Support Them; Storage Subsystems, Network Infrastructure (IP & SAN).

Scale of Current Problems Demands a New Approach

Infrastructure Scalability• By 2009, 50% of large businesses will spend more on power and cooling then on new servers (Gartner, 2006)

• Quad‐cores and octal‐cores will drive significantly more traffic

• Storage is expected to continue to grow at a 40‐70% CAGR (Gartner, 2006)

Operational Continuity

Expectation of 24x7 application availability

54% of network downtime is caused by human error (Uptime Institute, 2007)

The Case for 10GbE to the Server

Multi-Core CPU architectures allowing bigger and multiple workloads on the same machine

Server virtualization driving the need for more I/O bandwidth per server

Growing need for network storage driving the demand for higher network bandwidth to the server

10GE LAN on server Motherboards (LoM) beginning mid-2008 (source: Broadcom )

The Case for Unified Fabric

Reduce overall Data Center power consumption by up to 8%. Extend the lifecycle of current data center.

Wire hosts once to connect to any network - SAN, LAN, HPC. Faster rollout of new apps and services.

Every host will be able to mount any storage target. Drive storage consolidation and improve utilization.

Rack, Row, and X-Data Center VM portability become possible.
