DataCenter IP Fabric

Deploying fixed form factor switches in the Clos spine/leaf architecture is the ideal solution for scaling current data centers or deploying a new data center.

The spine/leaf architecture allows scalable growth while being simple, highly available, low cost, and flexible enough for just about any application run in the data center.

 A full mesh IP fabric is the platform for new datacenter needs such as :

  • Network Virtualization Overlays (VXLAN)

  • IP Storage

  • East-West Traffic

Campus Access

Campus access layer has an important role to connect end user devices to the network. 

Usually there are many switches resides in access layer and configured in a stack. 

In most of enterprises the Access layer is deployed and configured only once and in rare cases you need to do some changes on configuration. 

Bare Metal switches can be deployed for campus access layer to enable benefits from Open Networking and Apps such as :

  • Integration with your ITSM and ticketing system to automate the fixes.

  • Integration with your Monitoring software.

  • Automation
