VxRack System 1000 overview
Don t be forced to build it yourself Fully integrated rack-scale fabric Critical for high-bandwidth performance 32
Rack-scale fabric: build vs buy BUILD YOURSELF Network design / hardware selection Plan for future growth Multiple IT teams involved Complex (physical + logical planning) Maintaining performance levels at scale Fully engineered/sustained/ maintained network domain Easily extensible BUY WITH RACKS Built-in networking reduces need for silo expertise and eliminates complexity Delivers superior performance at scale A rack-scale architecture requires expertise and planning 33
VxRack networking attributes Dell EMC does the heavy lifting Pre-engineered high Performance, high density network fabric Highly flexible & Scalable virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) design Non-blocking switching architecture with less than 5 microsecond latency Wire-rate layer 2 & 3 switching on all ports Up to 5.12 terabits per second (Tbps) and up to 3.8 billion packets per second (bpps) for ToR (Top of Rack) switch pairs 40Gbps & 10Gbps design center Advanced QoS SDS storage optimized configuration Pre-engineered virtual port channel (vpc) for layer 2 multi-pathing Advanced port buffering design & buffer monitoring Modular spine architecture Delivers performance at scale Designed for the present and future 34
Architecting a rack-scale fabric Start with ToR Switching 10GbE connections to nodes Scaling requires a robust spine When node density exceeds limits, ToRs can be aggregated with spine switches Spine links impact how much bandwidth is available between racks Determines how I/O will perform in multirack configurations Requires calculation of oversubscription ratio of nodes to uplinks 35
