Download or read book High Performance Datacenter Networks written by Dennis Abts and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the design and engineering tradeoffs of datacenter networks. It describes interconnection networks from topology and network architecture to routing algorithms, and presents opportunities for taking advantage of the emerging technology trends that are influencing router microarchitecture. With the emergence of "many-core" processor chips, it is evident that we will also need "many-port" routing chips to provide a bandwidth-rich network to avoid the performance limiting effects of Amdahl's Law. We provide an overview of conventional topologies and their routing algorithms and show how technology, signaling rates and cost-effective optics are motivating new network topologies that scale up to millions of hosts. The book also provides detailed case studies of two high performance parallel computer systems and their networks. --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use policies and Cisco® ACI to make data centers more flexible and configurable--and deliver far more business value Using the policy driven data center approach, networking professionals can accelerate and simplify changes to the data center, construction of cloud infrastructure, and delivery of new applications. As you improve data center flexibility, agility, and portability, you can deliver far more business value, far more rapidly. In this guide, Cisco data center experts Lucien Avramov and Maurizio Portolani show how to achieve all these benefits with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and technologies such as python, REST, and OpenStack. The authors explain the advantages, architecture, theory, concepts, and methodology of the policy driven data center. Next, they demonstrate the use of python scripts and REST to automate network management and simplify customization in ACI environments. Drawing on experience deploying ACI in enterprise data centers, the authors review design considerations and implementation methodologies. You will find design considerations for virtualized datacenters, high performance computing, ultra-low latency environments, and large-scale data centers.

This book was released on 2009-06-16 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As data centers grow in size and complexity, enterprises are adopting server virtualization technologies such as VMware, VMotion, NIC teaming, and server clustering to achieve increased efficiency of resources and to ensure business resilience. However, these technologies often involve significant expense and challenges to deal with complex multisite interconnections and to maintain the high availability of network resources and applications. Interconnecting Data Centers Using VPLS presents Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) based solutions that provide high-speed, low-latency network and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) isolation between data centers resulting in significant cost savings and a highly resilient virtualized network. The design guidance, configuration examples, and best practices presented in this book have been validated under the Cisco Validated Design (CVD) System Assurance program to facilitate faster, more reliable and more predictable deployments. The presented solutions include detailed information about issues that relate to large Layer 2 bridging domains and offer guidance for extending VLANs over Layer 3 networks using VPLS technology. Implementing this breakthrough Data Center Interconnect (DCI) strategy will evolve your network to support current server virtualization techniques and to provide a solid foundation for emerging approaches. The book takes you from the legacy deployment models for DCI, problems associated with extending Layer 2 networks, through VPN technologies, to various MST-, EEM-, and GRE-based deployment models and beyond.

Download or read book Interconnecting Data Centers Using VPLS written by Nash Darukhanawalla and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes Cisco's break-through solutions that solve the network traffic problems created by Virtualization technologies.- Design guidance and configuration examples that follow Cisco best practice recommendations for the new Data Center Interconnect strategy.- Multiple deployment models provided for readers to choose the solution most compatible with their requirements to ensure their business resiliency.- Thorough description of data center technologies used in the deployment solutions. Data availability and business resiliency is becoming a critical requirement for a wide range of enterprises. To address these issues, organizations provide dedicated networks to guarantee performance and high availability. However, this approach can involve significant expenses and complexity. Organizations require cost-effective, comprehensive solutions that provide for economical, efficient, and effective deployment of a network that allows business resiliency. Companies today typically deploy two separate networks: one network for Layer 3, and an optical network that is dedicated to virtualization technologies. Today, these virtualization technologies require Layer 2 connectivity, which has caused an expansion of Layer 2 domains. Larger networks must provide the required Layer 2 connectivity to ensure high availability between geographically dispersed data centers. As a result, customers are facing issues such as maintaining the high availability of applications and dealing with complex multi-site interconnections. Companies require a deployment that effectively transports Layer 2 information, which allows a virtualization solution to operate effectively. The solutions in this book offer significant cost savings by eliminating the need for a dedicated optical network.
