Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation

By Arista Networks

For many years, networks have been oversubscribed. Such oversubscription was tolerable in enterprise networks as the applications were not bandwidth intensive, but not anymore. In a datacenter, the primary reason for this oversubscription is insufficient uplink bandwidth from each rack. Each top-of-rack switch is typically connected to two aggregation switches for redundancy. However, half the uplinks are blocked by spanning tree to avoid loops in the network; this reduces the available bandwidth between the rack and aggregation layer of the network by 50%. Arista’s Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) feature removes this bottleneck and allows the utilization of all interconnects.

By Cisco Systems

A system wide feature of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, CleanAir technology improves air quality by:
– Detecting RF interference that other systems can’t see
- Identifying the source and locating it on a floor plan
- Providing automatic adjustments to optimize wireless coverage around the interference

CleanAir technology provides the following benefits:
- Self-healing and self-optimizing wireless networks
- Faster troubleshooting for less downtime
- Effective policy enforcement

Layer 1 security

How Cisco IT Consolidates I/O in the Data Center

Get the White Paper

By Cisco Systems

Cisco IT is transforming its data centers with solutions that help to realize the company’s Data Center 3.0 vision, which employs a unified network fabric to connect servers and storage devices in a way that is resilient, scalable, and easy to manage. The transformation occurs in three stages: 1) Consolidating I/O and increasing throughput by implementing unified I/O running on 10 Gigabit Ethernet (current stage); 2) Increasing the power available to compute resources by reducing the power consumed by the network infrastructure and; 3) Making applications location-independent, which will simplify changes and possibly eliminate the need for change requests

Learn how Cisco is deploying consolidated I/O in their data center by downloading this paper.
