Background
As business needs are evolving consistently, so does the data center networking architecture. The traditional three-tier architecture is far from meeting the large data center network requirements. In this case, the innovative spine-leaf architecture emerges as an optimal choice for continuously changing needs of small and middle-sized enterprises business, cloud computing, and cloud data centers. One of our customers, an edge cloud service company, McDermott, is devising to deploy high performance, full redundancy, and vast storage large data center.
Challenge
- Generally speaking, a large data center must possess a high throughput, low latency, large cache, and high-reliability characteristics. Our customers need that each rack has 8 nodes with dual 10G SFP+, an IPMI port, and a management port. Together, there will be about 6PB of HDD storage and 1PB of SSD storage that most of the storage will be addressable from the Internet.
- What makes it important is how to deploy a high-performance network architecture with a promising cost for our customers.
