NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Building a smallish DC...for the rest of us
Meeting:	NANOG65
Date / Time:	2015-10-06 4:30pm - 5:00pm
Room:	Le Grand Salon & Marquette
Presenters:	Speakers: Karl Brumund, Dyn Karl Brumund has been involved in networking and telecommunications for over 25 years. He is presently a Principal Network Engineer and Technical Owner of Network Engineering with Dyn, upgrading and expanding Dyn's global Internet footprint. Prior to Dyn, he held a variety of positions with Rogers Communications, Futureway, Nortel, UUNET and IBM.
Abstract:	We're not Facebook, Amazon, Google or Microsoft, but we still need to build new Data Centers. They may not be huge, but we still want to do it right, sized for today and able to easily scale. It had to be vendor agnostic, use standard protocols, accommodate legacy systems, improve security, reduce costs, blend seamlessly into cloud, only rock the boat within Engineering so far, integrate into legacy sites and not cause my cell to ring at 2am. In other words, the usual impossible asks. What sucked about our legacy L2/L3 design, the initial MPLS VPN design that didn't work and the current L3 design. Here is a story of how we rebuilt our Data Centers, balancing costs, legacy systems, developers/users, conflicting priorities, public clouds and inheriting a project already in progress. In the end, the configs were the easy part.
