Virtual Data Center:Per Tenant Logical Flow

Choose Network Container

• Virtual Data Center Service defines three network containers (service tiers).

• Selection is based on the actual need of customer.

Choose Compute and Storage resource

• Within that container, customer can select a variety of compute and storage resource.

• Selection is based on the type of applications deployed within this container.

© 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialBRKSPM-2604_c1 11

MPLS Core

Built for Multi-Tenancy

VN-Link allows per-VM segmentation of traffic with full switching features

VLANs and VRFs keep L2/ L3 customer traffic isolated

Virtual Device Contexts further isolate traffic and enhance operations

Allows partitioning of data center services such as SLB, firewalling, etc.

OTV allows seemlessextension of tenants between pods

Scalable Design: POD and ICS

Point of Delivery (POD) is a discrete, homogeneous and modular unit of data center components.

Architecture with POD provides a predictable set of resource characteristics per unit.

Two types of POD are designed, depends on the scale of Data Center.

Large POD

Compact POD

Within a POD, Integrated Compute Stack (ICS) provides the compute resource in a modular sense.

Summary: What are Needed?

What are needed How Cisco Solves

On-Demand

Consumption

• Auto provisioning of all virtual machine attributes through

converged infrastructure management

• Virtualization-aware network/storage/compute automation

enabled by Nexus, MDS and UCS

Multi-Tenant

Architecture

• Flexible design to enable different classes of service for different

tenants

• Traffic isolation via dynamic provisioning of VLANs, VRFs, ACLs,

and Virtual Data Centers

Capacity at Scale

• Proven Data Center of the Future and Next Generation

Networking scalability

• Add Capacity to the System as a Whole, NOT Individually,

Service-By-Service
