  4. Rapid Bandwidth GrowthGrowth Trends in Data Center Load on network & servers continues to rapidly grow Enterprise data centers: ~35% YoY Internet data centers: 50% - 100% YoY Information access anywhere, anytime, from many devices Fixed PCs, laptops, PDAs & smartphones, telecommuting, proliferation of broadband Mainstream servers moving towards higher speed links 1-GE to10-GE in 2008-2009 10-GE to 40-GE in 2010-2012 High-speed data center-MAN/WAN connectivity Supporting service loads High-speed data center syncing for disaster recovery

  5. Achieving Scalability in Data CenterDeploy High Capacity Platforms High Performance & High Density Switches & Routers Scaling to 512 10GE ports per chassis Four different chasses for ideal fit No need for proprietary protocols to scale Up to 32-port trunk groups providing 320Gbps of link capacity Highly scalable DC Border Routers 3.2 Tbps capacity in a single chassis 10 Million routes, 1 Million in hardware 2,000 BGP peers 2K L3 VPNs, 16K L2 VPNs Scalable L4-7 Application Switches High port density for GE and 10GE application connectivity Unmatched Security, Scalability and Performance Up to L4 CPS @ 350,000 & L7 CPS @ 120,000 DDoS Protection @ 8 Million SYN/Sec 64 10-GE port Upstream 768 1-GE port Downstream

  8. Optimizing Power, Cooling & Space EfficiencyEliminating Roadblocks to Scalability Problem Power & cooling among the top contributors to OpEx Rising energy cost is a global trend Rack space becoming scarce All are potential limiting factors to data center scalability Gartner surveys show: 42% of managers believe cost & availability of power will be a limiting factor in the next 3 years Optimizing power & cooling is #2 driver for consolidation* Solution Deploying power efficient servers and networking devices is critical Optimizing watts/Gbps, watts/MIPS Consolidate switches in the access & aggregation layers into ultra- high capacity switches Provides better power, cooling, and space efficiency Reduces operational overhead Consolidate & Optimize * After controlling server sprawl. © 2008 Foundry Networks, Inc.

  9. Data Center Virtualization Virtualization enhances power efficiency, manageability, collaboration, service availability, and security Server consolidation and virtualization Improves server utilization and increases power efficiency Control server sprawl and improve manageability Virtualized network services extend the server virtualization concept VLANs, VRFs, VPLS, Virtual IPs (VIPs) provide virtualized network services Extend virtualization from data center into the MAN, and the WAN Extended virtualization allows for enhanced server/data center abstraction (via VIPs) to facilitate maintenance without observable downtime Application traffic separation for SLA assurance, or regulatory compliance Resources segregation to virtual zones for better security Application/computing power sharing between campuses across MAN/WAN and increasing collaboration Source: Gartner, November 2007 © 2008 Foundry Networks, Inc.
