1 Networking Technology Trends Howard Crabtree Berk-Tek

2 Agenda Technology developments Impact on data centers, enterprise and infrastructure Application standardization efforts Although disruptive technologies may appear to reduce the need for cabling infrastructure, new applications and increasing traffic will continue to drive the need for both copper and fiber cabling.

3 The Internet of Things The connection of everything to the internet: t appliances, vehicles, tablets, medical devices Building controls: security, access, lights, HVAC, power Services: remote medical, video conferencing, training/education Applications: software, entertainment, real time monitoring/usage i billing

4 The Internet of Things Impact Increased wireless traffic further burdens infrastructure Increased use of Power over Ethernet to remote devices using twisted pair Continuously-connected t y devices and applications Increases need for robust infrastructure as mission critical services migrate or develop

5 Bring your own device (BYOD) Wireless traffic is doubling annually Workplace bring your own device (BYOD) is gaining acceptance In 2015 nearly 1 billion ac devices will exist (In-Stat, February 2011) By 2015, 80% of newly installed wireless networks will be obsolete because of a lack of proper planning (Gartner : Top Wireless issues that may derail your mobile strategy, Paul DeBeasi, October 2011)

6 Bring you own device (BYOD) Impact Increased network traffic during break times, significant news, and sporting events Most M t current wireless deployments will be overwhelmed within two years Recommend deployment of multiple drops of cat 6 F/UTP, or cat 6A UTP to handle new ac access point aggregate capacity

7 2013 IT Manager Wish List 2012 Top Pain Points 1. Aging Hardware 2. Meeting Performance and Reliability expectations 3. Security 4. Managing Growth, Capacity Forecasting 14. Wireless 15. Mobile 2013 Top Projects 1. Core/Switch upgrade 2. Wireless 3. Technology Refresh 4. VoIP 5. Wireless LAN Indicates an awareness of the increasing wireless impact

8 Wireless: Enterprise and DC Impact Aggregate bandwidth is rapidly increasing in response to wireless device proliferation Within 2 years, access points will require more than 1 Gb/s in enterprise and campus Access point density 2x-3x higher 10GBASE-T addresses projected ac need in enterprise Wireless will help drive demand for 10, 40 and 100 Gb/s in data center

9 Bandwidth Explosion IP Convergence The convergence of data and storage networks using technologies such as FCoE More application content More blade servers in each rack or cabinet Cooling requirements increasing Redundancy R d d and ddata backup Storage Area Network growing by 50X in 10 years High speed links required from storage devices to the servers

10 Server Virtualization Impact Virtual servers and applications are increasing utilization to an average of 50% to 80% Quality of service server connection is critical to ensure no systems or applications are impacted Reduced physical servers may open up rack/cabinet space and reduce OPEX 3,500-4,000 kwh ($280 - $320) annual savings per server Driving Dii networks to flatter architecture of two tiers

11 Cloud Computing Infrastructure, Platform, Software as a Service 80% in Gartner poll plan to move to some sort of cloud computing in the next 2-3years Private cloud vs. public cloud Dependent on size of organization Provides on demand services, requires fast scaling for immediate demand Infrastructure I f t t bandwidth needs to support growing demand d to ensure acceptable response and scalability

12 Cloud Computing Continued Benefits Scalable resource in remote DC accessed over the internet Low upfront costs, Pay for resources as used Speed to market, handles market spikes Challenges Security and privacy Control and visibility of the information Reliability and performance

13 Enterprise Projections <5 Years 10GBASE-T improvements will increase adoption and help drive horizontal migration to 10G Wireless APs will drive increased cat 6a deployment EEE bl l i i fib EEE enables copper value propositions over fiber IP convergence and application virtualization are driving increased networking traffic and speeds Link quality becomes important as server pipe fills

16 Data Center Projections <5 Years Multimode fiber will continue as the most preferred 40/100G fiber solution OM4 (+) fiber with should be installed if DC lengths reach or exceed 75 meters MTP/MPO connectors will be predominant fiber interface System complexity will reduce link lengths for next generation Ethernet and Fibre Channel Higher bandwidth fiber may help minimize impact

17 Data Center Projections <5 Years Number of Data Centers will decline Today 2.94M ~ 4 Years 2.89M Peaked in 2008 Large Data Centers growing in size Most of decline due to reduction of midsize to small data centers Total Data Center Area Increasing Today y611.4msqft ~ 4 Years 700Msqft Driven by virtualization and server consolidation
