Bubbles, Shadows and Fabrics: Overcoming Challenges in Traditional DCs with a Single-tier Architecture
Anjan Venkatramani (Juniper Networks, USA) (bio)
How can we improve the performance of an existing virtualized data center without replacing the entire network? Implementing a flat, any-to-any connected data center network is an appealing approach. In this talk, I'll discuss how to migrate to a single-tier data center network architecture, improving application performance, scalability, and operational efficiency while integrating within an existing data center infrastructure.
