Distributed ToR: Stack ModeWinning on Throughput & Latency

• Avaya Fabric Interconnect (FI) provides more throughput than competing solutions• Competitors offer 128Gbps stacking or 4x40GE (160Gbps)

links• FI Stacking up to 10Tbs and FI Mesh supports up to 262.5Tbs

• FI provides lower latency than competitors• “Ultra Low Latency” competitor provides

7.9uS latency (ToR-Distribution-ToR)• FI Stacking provides latency of 2.1uS – 5.3uS (4 hop maximum

in stack of 8)

Fat Tree




VSP7000 DToR Versus Fat TreeWinning on Value : 4-20 x Lower Cost

• Typical Distributed ToR deployment costs with 640Gbps for $6,780

• 4 x 3m FI cables (640Gbps) / VSP 7000 with MSRP $6,780 • FI cables range from $995 for 0.46m to $8,995 for 100m

• Competing designs with 160Gbps range from $25,800 - $140,800

• Competing ToR limited to 160Gbps due to 4 x 40GE / ToR• Due to placement of ToR to Core or Distribution switches

require longer cable runs• 8 x 40GBASE-SR4 @ $1,100ea + 8 x Fiber @ $250ea =

$10,800 • Require 8 modular ports at costs from $1,875 ea to $

16,250ea• Arista (standalone) $1,875/port• Cisco Nexus 7000: $9,940/port• Juniper (standalone) $2,306/port, QFX3008 $7,226 -

VM Evolution: Scale & Flexibility

While application scale & server utilization is poor, network complexity is simple

Server virtualization brings scale and efficiency to applications. VMs become essentially “jailed” and network flexibility is reduced.

Members of the same VM domain must remain in the same subnet




VSP7000 Mobility & Flexibility

Jailbreak! Put your VMs where you need them.

• Fabric Connect provides the VMs & therefore, the applications a “get out of jail free” card.

• No longer bound by physical & logical constraints—VMs can be moved anywhere.

• This creates the flexibility to improve availability, simplify maintenance and enhance application expansion
