Data Centric Network (Unit 2)
Data-Centric Network (Unit 2)
Components of Enterprise
Data Center Layers
- Aggregation - Multilayer, switches, firewall & load balancers.
- Access - Layer 2 connectivity between server farm and server functions.
- Front End Segment - Protocols (SMTP), Telnet, web servers, etc.
- Application Segment - Layer 2 connectivity for security policies and firewalls.
- Backend Segment - Deals with segment storage and connections to database and server.
- Storage Layer - Server storage and consolidation and communication between them.
- Transport Layer - Bandwidth, transport protocols like SONET, cabling, and network, etc.
Architecture Models
- Client Server Model
- N-Tier model
- Multitier Architecture
Data Center Services
- IP Infrastructure
- Manual or static routing - Manually configuring the entire routing table.
- BGP - Inter-domain protocols are run for routing.
- IGPs
- OSPF - Intra-domain routing protocols followed.
- EIGRP
- Application
- Load-balancer - To reduce failure of a certain node due to failure.
- SSL - Encryption, and security.
- Security
- Firewalls
- ACLs
- Layer 2 & 3 Security Features.
- Storage
- Business Continuation
- Site selection
- SAN extension
- DC interconnectivity
- TOR & EOR
Power Reduction
- Energy usage monitor - ASHARE Standards for robust energy usage.
- Optimize air supply - Using cold air currents to cool down heated rooms.
- Optimize CRAC - Energy saving based electrical equipment.
- Separate hot & cold air - Eliminates mixing of the 2 currents being unutilized.
- Improve underflow air pressure - Removing underflow blockades lead to efficient energy usage.
- Improve CRAC - Replace old CRAC equipment with new ones.
- Improve transformers - For better electricity utilization.
- Improve Lighting - To ensure lesser mishaps.
