What Is the Campus Communications Fabric?Communications Fabric?
Six Attribute Blueprint to Guide IT Managers to:
Solve Complex Network Evolution/Planning Considerations
Enable Consistent Services and Policies Anywhere, Anytime, No Matter How Someone Connects to the Campus Network
Support Rich Media Applications That Effectively Connect People / Resources

Someone Connects to the Campus Network
Campus Building Block for Services Oriented Network Architecture (SONA)
Selecting an Enterprise SwitchK C id tiKey Considerations
Capital Expenses and Operational Expenses- How long do I plan to keep this infrastructure in the network:
3 years? 4years? 6+ years?- Can the network adapt to changes over the lifecycle expectation?
H d f G thHeadroom for Growth- What future network services & applications should I account for?- Is there sufficient HW resources (memory, TCAM size, power,
switching capacity, etc.) available to future-proof network for new services g p y, ) pMinimize Network Disruptions
- Does the switch have basic HW resiliency capabilities:redundant power supplies, redundant fans, redundant supervisors
- Is non-stop traffic flow a must-have requirement under failure conditions?- Is minimizing down-time and operational expenses associated with Adds, Moves & Changes – specially software upgrades, bug-fixes & patching a key consideration

- Dealing with increased network environments- Should I think of virtualizing the network?

Deep Packet Inspection – Going Mainstream
“ To deal with the problem many organizations are beginning to use To deal with the problem, many organizations are beginning to use sophisticated traffic-control systems that can sort out less-important online material while giving higher priority to business-critical files. The technology, called DPI, for deep packet inspection, is an improvement on the traditional firewall, which simply blocks unwanted traffic. DPI grantsthe traditional firewall, which simply blocks unwanted traffic. DPI grants network administrators greater flexibility ”
