Cisco GENI Rack Introduction and Solution Configuration details GEC16 - March’13

Cisco GENI Rack A collaboration between development partners (RENCI, NetApp, ePlus) to deliver a Data-center class ‘GENI Rack’ based on Cisco networking and server products Compute – UCS B-series servers and Fabric Interconnects Network – Nexus and Catalyst switches, ASA VPN concentrator Storage – Onboard disks and NetApp FAS solution NetApp FAS server(s) provide Data-center class scalable storage option (www.netapp.com) Software – GENI software stack provided by RENCI’s ExoGENI project (http://www.exogeni.net) Installation and support services – offered by ePlus (www.eplus.com)

Current status Development rack ‘live’ – entering GPO certification testing in the next few weeks 1st customer rack installed – expecting to go ‘live’ following certification "WVNET will be the 1st customer for the UCS-based ExoGENI Rack, bringing a data-center class solution to the GENI community. The project to build the rack has been true collaboration between RENCI, NetApp, ePlus, Cisco and WVNET teams. We're looking forward to bringing the Rack live in the very near future" Judge Dan O’Hanlon, Director, WVNET

NetApp Storage - Agile Scaling One OS - NetApp Storage is Built on the Industry leading Storage OS – Data ONTAP. A single OS powers the entire line of NetApp FAS products. Scalable – supports growth of a few Terabytes to multiple Petabytes. Resilient – built-in features like SnapShots, FlexClone, RAID-DP(6), and SnapMirror simplify backup and replication, while ensuring data is protected. Unified Architecture – as requirements change, support for common protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS/SMB is built-in. Efficient – features include deduplication, compression, solid-state caching, thin provisioning and cloning. Reducing required disk storage and reducing deployment windows. NetApp FAS Line of Storage (FAS2200/FAS3200/FAS6200) 12
