CAN THE CLOUD HELP?

Agenda

– The Path to Cloud

– Why a Fabric?

– Not all Fabrics are Created Equal

DATA CENTERS ARE BUILDING CLOUDS

ResourcePooling-Clouds

A single scalable pool

Networkis the

foundation

PATH TO THE CLOUD

Server growth and standardization

Application Evolution

Latency Sensitive

CHANGING ROLES OF THE NETWORK

Application running

Latency Tolerant

Traditional role – connecting users• North-South traffic

New role – connecting devices• East-West traffic

• Ideally one hop away

95% of network traffic

was going North-South

75% of network traffic

is now going East-West

Newest role – foundation of the cloud• Any-to-any connectivity

PATH TO THE CLOUD

Standardization

Reduce complexity

Improve the Utilization of Servers and Storage

Improve economics

THREE PROBLEMS WITH THE LEGACY NETWORK

1. Less is More:

3. Tyranny of Trees:

3 TYPES OF “FABRICS”

1. Marketing Fabrics

2. Overlay Fabrics

3. Switch Fabrics

MARKETING FABRIC

Benefits:• No incremental benefit

PROTOCOL OVERLAY FABRIC

Spanning Tree

PROTOCOL OVERLAY FABRIC

TRILL or SPB

L2 tunnels

Benefits:• Flatter topology

• Virtualizes locality

• Eliminates Spanning Tree

SWITCH FABRIC

DATA PLANE IN A SINGLE SWITCH

1. The line cards contain the ports and processing intelligence

2. The fabric cards interconnects all ports – any-to-any

Data Plane

3. A single “full lookup” processes the packets

SINGLE SWITCH DOES NOT SCALE

…but eventually it runs out of real estate.

After this, the network cannot be flat.

Ports can be added to a single switch fabric.

SINGLE SWITCH DOES NOT SCALE

Sacrifice simplicity or…change the scaling modelChoice:

SCALING THE DATA PLANE

So, we separate theline cards from the fabric.

And extend the coppertraces with fiber links.

For redundancy addmultiple devices.

QF/Interconnect

QF/Node

Interconnect vs Switch

Bandwidth: 10 Tb/s vs 2.5 Tb/s

Power: 3 Kw vs 13 Kw

ASICs in DP: 3 vs 5

Latency: 2 us vs 10 us

SCALING THE DATA PLANE

QFabric is faster than any Ethernet chassis switch ever built

1. All ports are directly connectedto every other port

2. A single “full lookup” at the ingress QF/Node device

3. Blazingly fast: Always under 5us 3.71us (short cables)

QF/Node

QF/Interconnect

Benefits:• Flatter topology

• Virtualizes locality

• Eliminates STP, TRILL, SPB

• Efficiency (less hardware)• Less power, space, cooling

• Faster (lower latency, jitter)

• Simpler (N=1)

• Less expensive

Overlay Fabric

SWITCH VS. OVERLAY FABRIC – 6000 10 GbE PORTS

• OS* Over Subscription 3:1

• Ports: 6000 server ports
