1 Design of the Physical Layer Critical Choices for Today's Data Centres The Siemon Company: The partner of choice for your Global Data Centers Alberto Zucchinali RCDD Senior Technical Manager EMEA DC Solutions & Services Manager

2 5 main topics Impact of high speed copper on DC design Next generation optical cabling (40/100G) Pre-terminated solutions Density vs. Management? Space design and DC architecture

3 Why 10G & more? Server performance boost More applications on a single server Virtualization (up to 15 virtual server on one) 2, 3, 4 Gigabit connection per server Unified networking (iscsi, NAS, FCoE...) 10GBASE-T costs less (about -60%) and consumes much less power than 1000BASE-T on a per-gbps per-port basis

4 At Least Six Different Server Access Speeds Forecast to Coexist over the Next Five Years Source: Dell Oro Group Controller and Adapter 5-Year Forecast Report

5 25GBASE-T it was not a surprise that the motion to form a 25GBASE-T Study Group was approved without objection both 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T are planned for operation over category 8 cabling and directly connected link segments at up to 30m. Valerie Maguire, BSEE, Director of Standards & Technology The Siemon Company

6 Impact of 10G on space design Alien Crosstalk, cable diameter and separation - a smaller size could be dangerous for performances - does shielding help? Shielded cabling is 100 times stronger to interference than UTP Superior protection against high frequency environmental noise Eliminates alien crosstalk

7 Next generation optical cabling (40/100G) Higher density with MTP/MPO

8 Next generation optical cabling (40/100G) Plug & Play, Parallel Optics and MPO / MTP Low loss components for 40/100G? (*) under dev. - target

9 Next generation optical cabling (40/100G)

10 Next generation optical cabling (40/100G) Module to Module Configuration (Duplex transmission)

11 Next generation optical cabling (40/100G) MTP Adapter to LC Trunk Future Migration Path for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s (parallel optics)

12 Next generation optical cabling (40/100G) Future Migration Path for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s (parallel optics)

13 Optical budget for high speed applications : longer distance than OM3 (150m Vs. 100m), but lower channel loss Assumes total connector loss of 1.0dB

14 Low loss components can help Application Distance Max Channel LC BladePatch (m) fibre Loss jumpers: / (3.0dB/ 0.15 db (typ MTP-LC 0.1 db) Connector Fibre Atten. Plug and play MTP Loss to LC or SC modules: Std 0.35 LossdB (typ Low Loss 0.25 db) km) MTP-MTP pass-through adapter plates and MTP fibre jumpers: 0.2 db 10Gb 40/ 100Gb # of cass. (0.65dB) # of MTP-LC cass. (0.35dB) dB / N/A 0.9dB 2 4 # of MTP adapters Std Loss (0.4 db) # of MTP adapters Low Loss (0.2 db) dB/1.5dB 0.3dB Gb dB / N/A 1.2dB / 100Gb dB/1.0dB 0.4dB 2 5

15 Pre-terminated solutions Abandoned cable = disordered pathways Valuable airspace Pathway space waste Cable rat s nests create air dams Think of trunking cables Use re-openable ties

16 Pre-terminated solutions Each leg is labeled for proper outlet orientation High quality Plug & Play category 6A copper & OM3 FO cable Factory terminated and tested for high performance Unique identification number for administrative purposes Shielded outlets are automatically grounded upon insertion into panels.

17 Density vs. Management? Leaving some room for termination and handling is important Some solutions could help keep my spaces tight

18 Flexibility in Rack Density Management Fiber Bladepatch Automatic duplex latching system, pull the boot to remove Razor core fibre (OM3/OM4 & OS2) Polarity can be changed: Removal of top cover Rotation of LC sections Identification path to show changes to polarity

19 LightStack LightStack Ultra High Density system is an end-to-end fiber solution for data centers Up to 144 fibers (LC interface) and 864 fibers (MTP interface) within 1U The LightStack system consists of: Enclosures Plug & Play Modules Adapter plates MTP Trunks Hybrid MTP to LC Trunks.

20 Copper/Fiber Combination Panel High density panel accommodates copper and fiber 4 plug and play modules or 24 copper ports Shielded copper applications Z-MAX, MAX or TERA compatible Fixed panel design with rear cable management for copper

21 Copper/Fiber Combination Panel

22 Intelligent Infrastructure Management The bridge between physical and logical layers Controls the physical layer in real time Who is connected to what? Who will have to be connected to what? How many ports are still available in my rack? Was my work order executed in the correct way? Where is that hacker? Who made that change? How can I have a truly complete network management?

23 Siemon EagleEye Connect

24 Space design What about cabinets with a separated patch zone? Passives and actives have different priorities What are the best ideas to keep them sharing the same space.

25 Space design Vertical patching (copper and fiber) Vertical cable management Horizontal cable management Pre-terminated trunking cables, plug-and-play fiber Power distribution support Thermal management features.

26 Space design 5x600mm cabs Total available space: 5x45 = 225U 4x760mm cabs Total available space: 4x45=180U 3x12= 36U 2x4= 8U 224U 4U 45U 12U 45U 12U 45U 12U 45U 4U

27 Space design Before......and after!!

28 DC architecture A zoned approach based on true structured cabling: Server switching is shared among multiple cabs Alternative to Top-of-Rack Reduces the number of actives Day1 either in the Access, in the Aggregation and in the Core Layer Pay for switch ports as you grow EN :2015 Information technology Data centre facilities and infrastructures - Telecommunications Cabling Infrastructure

29 Case study 5-6kW /server cab 39 server cabs 14 servers/cab 2 network port/server

30 Power & Switch Port Utilization

31 DC architecture A zoned approach will save you money!!

32 Grow Vertically or Horizontally? 6 m

33 1 allocated pair of shared PDUs and shared cabling every 2 cabs

34 Stranded Power Decreased with Shared PDUs

35 Wrap up A proper DC design should include: An optimized architecture Mid-to-long term view for infrastructure Latest / next generation technologies A careful budget / ROI estimation
