Enabling an agile infrastructure to better support Real Time Collaboration

IT Challenges and Trends Consumerization and tablets Context Awareness requirements Inter-departmental / Virtual Security Social Networking Virtualization of Enterprise Fabric Technology battle – Data Centers and more… When 5x9’s isn’t good enough Cloud based services with multi-tenancy IT Complexity must be reduced, storage explosion Faster TTS, Real Time Collaboration in Real Time !!!!


A Recap of Technology disruptions

Arcnet/100VG-Anylan/TR/FDDI/ATM to Ethernet LANs Analog to Digital ISL to VLAN Tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) VinesIP/IPX/LAT/Decnet to IP EIGRP/RIP to OSPF IP Clustering/Pilables to Stackables Campus Edge Chassis to Stackables MPLS Enterprise to Carrier MPLS Active/Standby based resiliency to Active/Active TDM PBX to IP Telephony DVMRP multicast to PIM based IP Telephony to UC EoR/MoR to ToR Overlay WLAN to Distributed forwarding Corporate End points to BYOD

Ethernet+IP Data Centers to Fabric based Data Centers ToR to dToR Contact Centers to UC enabled CC Private to Cloud based services UC to Collaboration Room Video Conferencing to Mobile VC Data Center Fabrics to Enterprise wide Ethernet Fabric TDM branches to Ethernet WAN branches Proprietary Fabric to standards based Fabric PIM based Multicast to Ethernet Fabric based Multicast Openflow to ? CC to Awareness ???? to SDN? IPv4 to IPv6 H.323 to SIP


Experiencing Problems…?

1. Inflexible infrastructure impacting time-to-service2. Complex protocols cause operational burden & instability3. Design limitations restrict agility & adoption of new services4. IT nervous and resisting BYOD & Guest Access5. Multicast is complex, lacks scalability & reliability6. 24x365 everywhere demands consistent resiliency model7. Inadequate visibility into application-network interactions8. Exploding Data Center east-west traffic impacting applications9. Campus, Data Center, & Branch need to be logically integrated10. Worried about committing to one proprietary technology

Perhaps the old way is no longer good enough…


A New Era for Networking

Mobile Collaboration and BYOD

Cloud (Private, Public, Hybrid) Social Networking

Your network was finally Spanning Tree FREE!Core VLANs were a thing of the past? Provision your edge only!

CLI & device level configuration were replaced by network wide provisioning tools? Physical Topology design limitations were eliminated?

Multicast Routing was possible without PIM? NAC was replaced by consistent Policy based access control?

Wireless and wired were now fully integrated and e911 compliant?What is Maintenance windows could be eliminated?

PCI compliance was easily possible?TTS was substantially reduced, down to minutes?

3 key strategic shifts for the Enterprise

WHAT IF…

Virtual Services Fabric

The old network needs to evolve to support Real Time Collaboration and new services in Real Time!

The East-West (Horizontal) RevolutionDelivering the Cloud-grade difference

Application Servers

Now this means:– Most traffic now goes rack-to-rack,

directly between servers– …ToR-to-ToR-to-ToR-to-ToR…

– Inter-rack capacity is now crucial– Terabit-class interconnect avoids

congestion and latency

The future:East-West traffic will dominate Data Center traffic* – 80%

Top-of-RackSwitches

Avaya delivers the industry’s only Terabit-class, non-blocking Horizontal Chassis solution

Alternatives introduce congestion & latency, additional equipment

& hops, consume more ports

Fabric Technology – You have choices!

Now there is a technology battle…– IEEE SPB (Shortest Path Bridging) & IETF RFC 6329

– IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)

– FabricPath

– QFabric– MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group)

– Sorry, but this one doesn’t cut it…– Vendor A = SMLT/RSMLT (2001)– Vendor C = VSS/VDC (2007)– Vendor H = IRF (2008)– Vendor E = MC-LAG (2010)– Vendor J = Virtual Chassis– Vendor B = ..?
