Challenges of Current Data Center Networks

• Layer 2 performance, scalability, reliability• Limitations of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

• Scaling virtual server environments

• Virtual machine mobility• Must run in Layer 2; IP address stays the

same• Enforce the same policies and permissions

• Infrastructure complexity• Lots of switches to manage• Layer 3 protocols to the edge

• Management overhead• High operational costs

Must Be Solved for Virtualized Data Centers

Scaling Virtual Server EnvironmentsChallenges Today

Layer 2: Only one active path

• STP disables other paths

• Not “virtualization-optimized”

Add virtual machines

• Add 1 GbE connections

• Move to 10 GbE for simplicity and higher performance

• Uplinks are stressed; need more connections in LAG

Increase utilization using MSTP (spanning tree per VLAN)

• Increases complexity

• Creates multiple single-path networks; limits sphere of mobility

Link failure

• STP reconvergence; network is down

• Broadcast storms stress network

Layer 3 as an alternative

• Greater complexity; higher cost

• VM mobility limited to rack

Page 34: NEXT INFRASTRUCTURE IN A FUTURE Infra in future KU.pdf · NEXT INFRASTRUCTURE IN A FUTURE ... 3G/ 4G Node B T1/E1 Ethernet MPLS or Ethernet ... Need: Metro backhaul transitions from

Cumbersome Virtual Machine MobilityChallenges Today

Limited sphere of mobility

• STP limits flexibility to a minimized, defined tree of switches

• Layer 3 limits mobility to a single rack

VM migration can break network/application access

• Port setting information must be identical at destination

Map services (VLANs, QoS, security) to all physical ports

• Eases mobility but undermines network and security best practices

Distributed Virtual Switch

• Addresses configuration needs but consumes server resources and is still restricted by physical limits

Limited insight into where VMs are running

• VMs exist anywhere in the cluster

Today: Before Unified I/OToday:

Parallel SAN and LAN Potentially less optimal use of

networks Four or more connections per server:

– Higher adapter and cabling costs– Adds cap-ex and op-ex– Each connection adds potential points

of failure in the fabric

Imagine if…

• There was no requirement for STP in Layer 2 networks• All paths in the networks were utilized with traffic automatically

distributed• Link failure did not result in a temporary outage and paths were

always deterministic• The network provided low latency, lossless transmission and

could carry both IP and storage traffic, without compromise

Dynamic Services

Add services into the VCS fabric• Extends the capabilities of VCS

• Fabric extension, native Fibre Channel, security services, Layer 4–7, and more

Purpose-designed hardware• Switches with unique functionality

can be added to the VCS fabric

• Like service modules in a chassis

Application Delivery in Virtualized Server EnvironmentsCapacity Planning Challenges

• Resource planning is increasingly difficult

• Server consolidation decreases historic capacity buffers

• Virtualization does not recapture unused resources

Resources idle 66% of the time

Missed SLA

• Over-provisioning leaves costly resources idle

• Under-provisioning results in missed application SLAs Predicted Load: Financial Reporting App

Resources Provisioned (125% of Peak)

Actual Load Seen: Load Accurately PredictedActual Load Seen: Load Greater than Predicted

Ecosystem AdvantageIntegrated Solutions for Server Virtualization

Application Resource Broker (ARB) Monitoring, Analysis and Provisioning Engine

ARB monitors response time and number of client connections to application servers

ARB plug-in for VMware vCenter (tab in vSphere client) monitors CPU utilization

ARB intelligently recommends and automates provisioning and de-provisioning of application resources (VMs)

Avoids costly over-provisioning and broken SLAs
