NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Datacenter Top-of-Rack Switch Redundancy Models
Meeting:	NANOG46
Date / Time:	2009-06-16 11:30am - 12:00pm
Room:	Regency Ballroom, 2nd FL Mezz
Presenters:	Speakers: Dani Roisman, Peak Web Consulting Dani Roisman provides Network Design and Engineering services at Peak Web Consulting. In addition to his role as a Senior Network Architect, he is also the Network Engineering Team Lead. He specializes in large content datacenters and networks, with a focus on peering and multi-homing to reduce costs, improve customer negotiating stance, as well as increased network capacity, performance, and fault-tolerance. His network design and implementation accomplishments include multiplayer game and social networking deployments hosting over 5,000 servers across 9 datacenters with Internet bandwidth capacities reaching 250Gbps.
Abstract:	There exist many top-of-rack switch redundancy models allowing for resilient access to servers in the datacenter. In this presentation various configurations will be demonstrated along with benefits, drawbacks, and real-world results. Information provided should assist datacenter network operators with selecting the right redundancy model for their application and environment.
