Why is everyone interested in SDN?

Agile, automated, shared infrastructure

Mobile Cloud Big Data Agile enterprise

Provisioning time today

Servers Networking

Customers are looking for • Programmability & automation for

innovation & agility

• Multi-tenancy for sharing infrastructure

• Network services independent of HW, location & topology for flexibility

• Open standards & interoperability for lower CAPEX

• Simpler management & control for lower OPEX

Traditional Model SDN Model

• Problem: Current networking model limits innovation, flexibility, scale & agility

• SDN separates control plane from data plane

• Benefits expected from SDN – Scale and evolve control plane independent of network devices

› Faster innovation

– Programmability of the network: better control/visibility on network traffic › Flexibility & Simplified management

– Network virtualization and service orchestration at a large scale › Scale & Agility for shared infrastructure

Benefits of SDN

• Control plane performance and scalability can be increased independent of CPU and memory limitations of network devices

• Scale-up

• Scale-out

• In-line control protocols can be eliminated entirely, and replaced with centralized control logic

• Sophisticated traffic management and network control can be implemented more easily

• Network device operations are made simpler, and easier to manage

• The network devices potentially become less expensive to build

Dell Active Fabric Automation for high performance & cost savings

recommends fixed form factor switches “as an alternative to chassis-based switch architectures”**

Reduce capital costs up to 70%, operational expense by up to 30%

Traditional chassis-based architectures drive power, cooling, and cost up

Traffic is forced into a multi-tier pattern, adding latency

Traditional and Dell Active Fabric Compared

Core

Aggregation

Access

Scalable Start with minimum Spine and Leaf nodes, add more as needed (up to 8000+ ports)

Supports large layer 2 and Layer 3 networks

Resilient

No spine node carries significant percentage of core traffic (100/n %)

A 16 spine design results in 6.25% traffic loss versus a 50% loss in the case of a centralized two core box solution

Efficient

With a 16 spine design 93.75% total network utilization available on a node failure versus 50% with traditional Dual Chassis core design.
