Data Center Components
> Architectural
> Site requirements
> Mechanical
> HVAC, Cooling etc
> Electrical
> PDUs, Delivery paths, UPS
> Security
> Physical access, monitoring
> Telecommunications
> Carrier diversity, Cabling, patching
Data Center Tiers
> Higher tiers correspond to higher availability but also have higher construction costs
> Data center can have different tier ratings for the different portions of its infrastructure
> Overall rating of the data center is equal to the lowest tier rating
> Capacity of systems may need to be upgraded to maintain tier rating as data center load increases
> Human error and operating procedures have a major impact on availability
Data Center Best Practices
> Power and Cooling
> Upto 40% of a data center’s energy is from IT equipment
> Airflow Management
> Hot Aisle/Cold Aisle
> Floor Layout
> Virtualization
> Infrastructure Right-Sizing Source: 42U and Green Grid
Factorsaffec<ngVoiceQuality• Latency
– Latency is the time it takes a packet to reach a destination
• Effects – Higher the latency,
the listener will hear the words and acknowledge the speaker later than a normal conversation
– Unnatural cadence of the conversation may occur
– Introduces echo
> Jitter • Variance in time
that packets arrive to be assembled into a word
> Effects • Words will be
broken and segmented
> Packet Loss • Can occur due to
variety of reasons such as link failure, buffer overflow in routers
> Effects • Severe
degradation in voice quality
ITU G.114 mouth to ear delay recommendations 0 to 150 ms Acceptable for most user applications
150 to 400 ms Acceptable provided that administrations are aware of the transmission time impact on the transmission quality of user applications
Above 400 ms Unacceptable for general network planning purposes; however, it is recognized that in some exceptional cases (i.e., satellite) this limit will be exceeded
Codec Selection > E Model
> R = Ro – Is – Id – Ie +A
> For an “ideal” G729A connection with no loss, jitter or delay, R = Ro- Ie = 94 – 11 = 83
> Note A=0 for wirebound connections
> G.711 provides the best quality
> G.729 and G.723 consume less b/w
Campus in a Box Requirements
> Plug and play solution
> Limited to small environments such as hotel venues for less than 100 participants
> Wireless Access Point
> VPN
> POE
> Analog phone ports
> Video
> Different WAN interfaces Picture provided by Cisco
Telepresence
> Technology solution that provides a natural “across the table” experience
> Combines high quality audio and video (HD)
> Integration with Exchange and/or other mail system
> Room Readiness
> Components
> VoIP Infrastructure
> Videoconferencing
> Logistics
> Application
> Connecting communities among geographically separated groups

Why QoS is Important?
> Each application has unique requirements
> Most of the traffic today is IP-based
> IP is connectionless protocol
> No specific path for IP packets
> Results in unpredictable QoS in a best effort network

Cloud Computing vs Localized Services
> Campus Data Center > Trusted
> Reliable
> Secure
> Pros
> All services
> Cons
> CapEx increases
> Reduction in capital Expenditure for new campus locations
> Not applicable to all services
> May increase network bandwidth costs
> Cloud Computing > Flexible – move one
application at a time > On-demand
> Pros
> Reduction in CapEx
> Platform agnostic
> Scalable
> Utility pay
> Cons
> Not applicable to all services
> May increase network bandwidth costs (OpEx)
Virtual Lab Computers?
> Web based reservation/provisioning system
> Authenticate
> Select the Virtual Lab Computer you need
> A Virtual machine instance is created and personalized
> Log in via Remote Desktop client for Windows or VNC/X-Windows for Linux
> NCSU developed VCL for IBM bladecenters and claim yearly usage levels of 68% (~6000 hours)
> Duke OIT added support for VMware ESX, Shibboleth, Grouper
> Duke’s VCL pilot is run from DSCR - part of an IBM grant that provided hardware to the DSCR
> personalized cloud computing compliments high performance computing
VCL = Virtual Computing Lab
> on-demand environments available 24x7 > access from anywhere > lab images are cloned - simplified
support > efficient use of compute resources > compute nodes can be reconfigured for
research cluster during slack periods
VCL Goals
> clean virtual machine created for each user > users store data on AFS (or their local PC) > cable/DSL connections are fast enough -
functional at 1 mbps > many computer environments can be stored &
run on-demand
