Architecture Goals


Campus Core

•  When requirements fit – Primarily for 10G Density and HA

•  Key Requirements: 10G Scalability, ISSU/HA, 40/100G.

•  Many DC features apply to the Campus

•  10G in the campus aggregation/core is becoming more common.

•  Bandwidth and Performance requirements – N7K might be the only way to accommodate!

Distribution

Core

Nexus 7000 Series So what about the Campus?

NOTE: The Catalyst 6500 remains the primary Campus platform for Core and

Distribution.

One size doesn’t fit all

! Commonly, there is a single core network for both Campus and Data Center

! For many commercial customers, the DC is the core

! For larger networks, there are two separate cores.

! Use N7K in either core when requirements demand and features are met.

Nexus 7000 Campus Design Considerations Using Virtual Device Contexts in the Campus Environment

! Objective: Consolidate vertical infrastructure that delivers orthogonal roles to the same administrative or operational domain.

! Benefits: §  Reduced power and space requirements §  Reduce OpEx: Maximize density of the platform §  Agile provisioning of resources between VDCs §  Logical design enables migration to physical

separation in future

! Considerations: § Number of VDCs (4 default / up to 8) § Use Firewall between Campus and Data Center VDC’s

Invicta OS NAND management

Treats NAND Flash like NAND - not like disk

•  Proprietary write logging layer ensures data integrity in the face of power loss •  Implements a SYSTEM wide log structured indirection layer

•  NEVER writes less than an entire Erase block •  Smaller writes are padded to the Erase Block boundary • Writes are acknowledged to initiator immediately after being recorded into Nonvolatile memory •  Leverages multi-core high frequency X86 cores w/GBs of memory

Data integrity layer provides both positional validation and traditional data validation upon read

• Media checksums alone fail to protect positional integrity • Granular recovery allows for individual RAID stripe repair
