Data Center Conference Track
The way data centers are designed and operated is changing in response to demands placed on IT from the organization. Nearly every facet of data center design and management are being affected. This track is designed to teach you about new technologies that are impacting data center designs such as lossless Ethernet and the impact in network design, automation and orchestration strategies which make your data center applications more flexible and robust, leveraging multiple data centers effectively, and taking into account the new technologies in capacity planning.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Location: Lagoon D Server architectures are both changing in response to application deployment models as well as changing how applications are deployed. Everything from multi-core CPU, cache strategies, hardware virtualization support, IO management, and interconnects have an impact on how you deploy applications and has an impact on power consumption and cooling. In this session, you will learn about new technologies in servers and how to integrate them into your data center. You will will be able to differentiate the advantages of blade chassis from rack mount systems and determine when to use them. Lastly, you will understand how IO options impact overall performance and connectivity to the rest of the data center.

2:15 PM – 3:15 PM Location: Breakers L For years IT organizations built three-tier data center LANs based on a number of broadly accepted axioms. This included the use of the spanning tree algorithm, the separation of the data center LAN and the SAN as well as the use of Ethernet on a best effort basis. However, trends such as the adoption of server virtualization are causing IT organizations to rethink every aspect of data center LAN design. The panelists on this session will be given an actual data center LAN and asked to redesign the LAN to support a highly virtual, dynamic data center. They will also be asked to explain why they are, or are not, recommending specific technologies.

2:15 PM – 3:15 PM Location: Lagoon D Fibre Channel requires a lossless network with predictable performance. Ethernet, being best effort, can’t support Fibre Channel as is. Fibre Channel over Ethernet enables storage traffic over Ethernet, but doesn’t address the lossless and performance requirements. IEEE standards grouped under the name Data Center Bridging (DCB) for Priority Flow Control, Enhanced Transmission Selection, Quantized Congestion Notification, and Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange, are designed to make Ethernet lossless and ensure that critical traffic such as FCoE has the required bandwidth available at all times. DCB enhances any Ethernet traffic within a layer 2 network, not just storage. Switches are coming to market capable of supporting DCB, today. In this session, you will learn how the various DCB protocols enhance Ethernet and the impact on network design and operations. Speaker - Andre Kindness, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research Andre serves IT Infrastructure & Operations professionals. He is a leading expert on network operations and architecture.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Location: Lagoon D Orchestration pulls together technologies and processes throughout your data center to rapidly provision all of its dependencies in a matter of minutes or hours versus days or weeks. While much of the hype about orchestration is focused on end-user self-provisioning of applications and services, there is real, practical value to orchestrating your data center without going to the extreme of end-user self-provisioning. The challenge for IT is creating the necessary processes and workflows to reliably deploy orchestration without getting bogged down in dealing with every possible corner case. In this session, you will learn the principles in building runbooks for application deployment, discover how to translate runbooks into orchestrated processes, and learn strategies to pre-emptively identify and recover from product or system failures. Speaker - Terry Gates, Master Solution Architect, Data Center Infrastructure Services Practice, HP | |
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Location: Lagoon D Ethernet and the upper layer protocols are designed to handle packet loss and variable delay between packets. Fibre Channel, which is just SCSI over a network, needs a stable, lossless connection to work.The Data Center Bridging (DCB) standards define how Ethernet can be lossless, but choke points and congestion can wreak havoc on storage traffic by adding delay and jitter to FCoE. Multi-path Ethernet using Fabric Shortest Path First, TRILL, or Shortest Path Bridging, finds the shortest path and load balances traffic over multiple Ethernet links reducing congestion and making better use of your Ethernet capacity. Multi-path Ethernet can have significant impact on the product selections you can add to your FCoE fabric as well as the management and operations of your data and storage network. In this session, we will describe the commonality of multi-path Ethernet protocols, the differences, and the impact to integration and management.

3:15 PM – 4:15 PM Location: Lagoon D A well designed data center is inherently as energy efficient as it can be when it is designed and built, but new technologies and techniques evolve that can significantly improve efficiency. The question that IT struggles with is how to determine which improvements will have the best bang for the buck. Measuring and trending data center power and cooling usage provides a management context to make decisions on where to focus improvements and provides a way to measure the success.
