SAN

Directors

• Data Center Local Area Network (LAN)

– A network linking multiple devices in a single geographical location

– 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 10 Gb Ethernet

• Data Center Storage Area Network (SAN)

– Network linking servers to storage

equipment, which introduces the flexibility of

networking to servers and storage

– 100 MB, 200 MB, 400 MB, 10 Gb Fibre

Channel


Considerations for the Data Center Infrastructure

• Standards Compliance: TIA-942 Structured Cabling

– Star topology

– Recognized media

– Cable types

– Distances

– Racks and spaces

– Pathway and spaces

– Redundancy

• Moves, Adds, and Changes

• New Applications & Increasing Data Rates

• Technology Advancements in System Equipment


Cabling Needs at the SAN Director

• System manageability, flexibility, and scalability, to meet the

needs of today and tomorrow

– High density, easy to install & manage cabling solution

– Labeling to streamline installation process & system management

– Simple migration path to high port count line cards

– Reduced cable congestion

– System performance for current &

future requirements

Non-Optimal SAN Infrastructure Implementations

Issues with Management, Scalability, Cooling, & MACs lead to:

• Service interruption

• Airflow problems

• Network downtime

Patch cords:

• Length mis-match

• Network management

and scaling issues

Patch cords or traditional

cable assemblies:

• Unmanageable bulk

cabling in the cabinet

vertical manager and

cable trays

• Air flow reduction

Hard wiring (no local patch panel):

• Minimizes flexibility

• Reduces Life-cycle resulting in

issues related to emergency

restoration, and reconfiguration

due to MACs

Low density solutions:

• Increased Installation Time

• Increased pathway space

• Increase weight


Recommended Design for the SAN

• TIA-942 compliant design (STAR Topology)

• Modular infrastructure to support moves, adds & changes

• High-density trunk cabling reduces pathway congestion

• Harness solution for SAN Director reduces bulk cabling at electronics


Alliances

• Corning Cable Systems and Chatsworth

have partnered in development of a

customized solution to make data center

design and installation easier

• Brocade Data Center Ready Program

– Corning’s LANscape® Pretium™ Plug &

Play™ Universal Systems demonstrated

compatibility with the Brocade 48000

• Cisco Technology Developer Program

– Corning’s LANscape Pretium Plug &

Play Universal Systems demonstrated

compatibility with high-port-count SAN

directors such as the Cisco 9513
