& Capacity Planning
LAN: Server Virtualization is Highly Dependent on the
Network “LAN and SAN”
LAN: Workload mobility requires High Performance LAN
access layer
LAN: Workload mobility requires Scalable L2 Domains
SAN: Workload mobility (i.e. Vmotion) requires All servers to

have SAN connectivity
The Virtual Networking Challenge

DC optimization
Data Center Automation becomes mandatory after
virtualization 50% of workloads

 The Data Center Architecture has
been based on: LAN Core
 Hierarchical switching design

Layer 3
 1 GE LAN Access
 Limited Layer-2 with Spanning Layer 2 Aggregation

 Dual Fabrics (LAN and SAN)
 Not All servers are wired to

• Unified Fabric
Increase workload agility, lower costs, lower power, higher
reliability, simplified setup, higher asset utilization, higher
application performance
• Optimized For Virtualization

Higher workload agility VM-FEX, better VM performance,
More workloads virtualized, lower cost per VM
• Revolutionary Embedded Management

Simplified setup, increased control, lower costs, faster
deployment, higher reliability, higher productivity, fewer errors
• Policy Computing (Stateless)

Servers waiting for their identity based on Application needs.
Service Profiles push out configuration to available HW.
• Extended Memory
Lower cost per VM, higher consolidation, better performance
• Rack Server Integration

All of the benefits of blade servers applied to rack servers
Problems:
VMotion
• VMotion may move VMs across
physical ports—policy must
follow
• Impossible to view or apply
policy to locally switched traffic
• Cannot correlate traffic on
physical links—from multiple
VMs

VN-Link:
• Extends network to the VM

Question: What would it take for you to do this in your DC today?
• UCSM = Redundant fabric holds workload DNA. Why?

Settings (FW, BIOS, Adapter, LAN, SAN, Storage, and many more) are
pushed out as profiles to available hardware.
Legacy server vendors update hardware with bundles/revisions in
anticipation of application. UCS configures HW instantly based on the
profile for that workload type.

Single Latency with UCS
HP/IBM Talk About East to West I/O Traffic:
• 80% of all blade I/O traffic is East/West within a single chassis, not North/South (N/S); North/South is I/O traffic
leaving any chassis
• Only 20% of all I/O traffic actually leaves the chassis
Is This Realistic? What Does This Mean for Actual Users?

• All the blades that “need to talk to each other” (cross talk) need to be in the same chassis;
Is this realistic?
• 20% North/South I/O traffic seems very low for typical data center production environments. Is this
realistic?
• Web servers, file/print servers, DB servers, etc., all generate significant N/S traffic to LAN and SAN
• Virtualization in data centers today means that the mix of VMs on any physical server mitigates
against “cross talk” servers all being in the same chassis.
• What happens to latency dependent application performance when you migrate a server identity to a
different blade in a different chassis? Or VC domain?
• Does the latency change impact your required performance?
• How does this affect the usefulness of blade identity portability in HP solutions?
