Workloads of an enterprise like AT&T include traditional IT applications, customer applications, internally and externally facing applications, network functions, as well as software running on dedicated and purpose-built hardware. This presentation covers streamlined compute and storage hardware to meet data centers and central office requirements such as power, density, and regulatory, as well as diverse application workload needs. Also covered is a review of efficient Network architecture including merchant silicon switches, leaf/spine topology and Clos fabric. Unified network designed to meet demands the data rate and throughput demands of IT application, Big Data, and Virtual Network Functions.
Review of large scale streamlined Open Stack compute and storage, including OCP hardware to meet data centers and central office requirements such as power, density, and regulatory, as well as diverse application workload needs. Network architecture, including merchant silicon switches, leaf/spine topology and Clos fabric. Unified network designed to meet demands the data rate and throughput demands of IT application, Big Data, and Virtual Network Functions. Network Overlay Software Defined Networking (SDN) controllers as the local and global level including Neutron, vSwitch, vRouter, ODL, as well as GRE and MPLS at the wide and local area. Local and Distributed Open Stack Orchestration Control Deployments. Automation technologies such as Chef used to deploy across 1000's of sites.
