There are really only 3 things you need to remember about what VC does…
1.
Simplify networksReduce cables without adding switches to manage
2.
Simplify server connectionsCleanly separate Server enclosure mgt from LAN & SAN
3.
Change servers in minutes, not days Add, move, & replace servers fast without affecting your LANs or SANs

One of the problems we created with blades…
•
With blades we can fit a lot more servers in a rack then what we used to (no kidding!)
•
Average no. of servers per rack−Rack servers = 12−Blades = 40 (yep, that’s more than 3 times)
•
Average no. of cables required for each rack:−
Rack servers = 96−
Blades = 320 (!!) But can be up to 504 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pass Thru: Too many cables Problem: Modules are cheap, but cabling is Error prone &
costly
Datacenter
16 Blades x 8 NICs each = 128 Cat6 patch cables
per Blade Chassis
X 8

16
Too many switches Problem: 24 times the amount of management
Cisco Catalyst 6509
•1 switch to manage• 384 downlinks
Typical rack based setup
c-Class Blade Switches
•8 switches to manage•16 downlinks per switch
c-Class Enclosure
Equivalent blade rack

What about all the VC modules in an enclosure or even in a whole rack?
•
Good question!•
We solve this problem by stacking them all together and making them look like 1 big VC module
•
So now you only need to manage one “device”
to
take care of your whole rack!
Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules
10 GbE Internal Cross-Connect
10GE ports still available as additional stacking links or data center uplinks

18
As few as 2 cables to support a whole rack!!
Common Scenario•
Single VC module•
Cost Effective
Redundant ToR Scenario
•
Separate VC modules
•
More resilient
Multi-NIC Scenario•
More Server Bandwidth –
e.g. VMware

Other ways to use Virtual Connect…
1.
Rip and Replace servers
2.
Upgrade servers
3.
Test new hardware
4.
Troubleshoot existing hardware
5.
Configure LAN/SAN before servers are installed
