shaping tomorrow with you All Fibers Lead to Data Centers With the recent explosive growth of video streaming, social media, and cloud-based services, a large portion of Internet traffic either comes from data centers or goes to them. In fact, in the same way an earlier civilization produced the adage “all roads lead to Rome,” in the broadband world we might well say “all fibers lead to data centers.” Data Center Architectures Three networks are associated with data center solutions: • The access network • The inter–data center network, sometimes referred to as Data Center Interconnect (DCI) • The intra–data center network Numerous services are required to support these data center architectures. Figure 1 depicts a high-level view of a data center solution.

For internet content providers, the access and DCI networks are separate and distinct. For carriers, the access and DCI networks often are the same. For years, many carriers have provided access and interconnect on Fujitsu metro optical networks, and they continue to do so. Figure 2 shows several Fujitsu access solutions.

For Ethernet-focused applications that have higher bandwidth requirements, a network based on a FLASHWAVE 5300–family device and a FLASHWAVE 7120 Micro Packet Optical Networking Platform may be suitable. For applications with even higher bandwidth requirements and other needs, say TDM or optical services, a network based on a FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet Optical Networking Platform may be the best choice. 2 Figure 3 depicts several Fujitsu DCI solutions.

Fujitsu has partnered with Juniper Networks to provide robust, scalable, efficient intra–data center solutions. Figure 4 depicts a legacy 3-tier intra–data center design that comprises access, aggregation, and core services. The Juniper products typically used to implement this architecture are the EX4300 in the access layer, the EX8200 in the aggregation, and the EX8200 or EX9200 in the core. The MX, a Layer 3 router, handles northbound routing at the edge. Edge Core Aggregation Ethernet LAN Access Servers NAS Fibre Channel Storage Fibre Channel SAN Figure 4: Legacy 3-tier data center network 4 Collapsing the three tiers to two tiers essentially combines the aggregation and core layers, resulting in a more economical and efficient network. Figure 5 depicts a 2-tier Juniper data center network with Virtual Chassis technology and the same EX4300 and EX8200 switches. With Virtual Chassis functionality, individual switches can be clustered to simplify connectivity. MX Series Routers SRX Series Devices EX8200 Virtual Chassis EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis Servers Fibre Channel Storage NAS Fibre Channel SAN Figure 5: 2-tier data center network Collapsing to a single tier can further improve capex and efficiency. Figure 6 depicts a single-tier data center network using Juniper QFabric products: the QFX3500, QFX3600, and QFX5100 along with QFabric core components. 40 GbE Eliminate layers to flatten the network 40 GbE 10 GbE Servers NAS Fibre Channel Storage Figure 6: Single-tier data center network 5 An alternative to QFabric is Junos Fusion, a more open spine-and-leaf fabric. This design incorporates the newest Juniper switch, the QFX10000, as well as the EX4300 and the QFX5100 workhorses shown in previous examples.

The design stage can also include interoperability testing of multivendor equipment that adds another level of service assurance before deployment. Fujitsu can develop software adapters as required. Building Fujitsu provides traditional, on-site installation and provisioning. In engagements with standardized configurations, Fujitsu can install equipment in racks, test it, and provision it before shipping. These services save time and money, and they guarantee greater quality than traditional stick-built facilities. Maintaining A properly supported network will consistently deliver the quality of service contracted by end users. Failures are always possible, but Fujitsu minimizes service interruptions assigning only skilled technical-assistance engineers to support your network. Through Fujitsu Maintenance Support Plans, Fujitsu reduces the impact of outages by providing on-demand spare parts, repair services, and remote and local knowledge. Operating Fujitsu provides proactive programs to help your network function smoothly. Our Network Operations Center (NOC) is available around the clock, providing real-time fault and event management. If you operate a NOC, Fujitsu can provide after-hours support services. Other services provide predictive analytics that proactively identify bandwidth needs and network faults. Summary Fujitsu provides multiple solutions—comprising hardware, software, and services—for data center applications: • The access network • The inter–data center network, sometimes referred to as Data Center Interconnect (DCI) • The intra–data center network Let Fujitsu help you identify requirements and key considerations, then provide the best solution and optimize it for you.
