1 PL 7.2 The Times They are A-Changin’
Chris Crosby, CEO, Compass Datacenters

2 The Times They are A-Changin’
This presentation discusses the factors and issues that are driving the evolving role of the CIO and the structure of data center networks

3 3 Key Things You Will Have Learned During this Session
The new choices available to IT The four factors of platform decision making The impact of latency and bandwidth on the data center network

4 “We’re Putting Everything Into the Cloud”
What does this really mean? Everything? Are you going to use the public cloud for mission critical applications? Can your network architecture support the plan? New opportunities require different questions and analytics

5 Enhances the ability to “right fit” A new “product stack”
A New Toolbox Enhances the ability to “right fit” A new “product stack” AaaS Shared cloud Dedicated/Bare metal Colocation Dedicated facilities

6 Utilization Myth: Average Utilizations of the Stack

7 Platform decisions based on their interrelationships
The Four Factors The factors: Regulation and risk Scale Control Expertise Platform decisions based on their interrelationships Continually evolving IT is the strategic decision maker

8 Network limitations becoming more and more common
Is the Network Able? IDC: “50% of existing networks will be bandwidth constrained as result of the rapid increase in data volume for IoT” Ex: Docker will require more capacity than many networks have available Support for 4 to 6X applications than a hypervisor running on similar system Network limitations becoming more and more common

9 Higher level of customer expectation than ever before
Latency Higher level of customer expectation than ever before Milliseconds make all the difference Cloud meets IoT, rich packet applications Increases the importance of data center location One data center can’t do it all

10 Solving the Latency Problem
For now it’s geographical Moving data as close to the end user as possible Edge data centers Emerging Micro datacenters Cisco FOG architecture Any device can be a data collection point Must have computing, storage and network connectivity

11 Bandwidth That’s a lot of things

12 Even the biggest “pipe” will hit an oversubscribed backplane
Bandwidth Even the biggest “pipe” will hit an oversubscribed backplane Ex: Public cloud SaaS Public internet cloud access is insufficient Volume of data makes this the weakest link

13 The Traditional Network
Access via “public” means Internet Too many chokepoints Source: Forrester

14 Presented to a Compass customer Eliminate public internet
An Alternate Approach Presented to a Compass customer Direct Peering Direct cloud connectivity Eliminate public internet Internet Campus DC1 DC2 AWS EQIX DC Cloud Exchange Internet Exchange I2 Provider Azure I2 Source: Equinix

15 Eliminate Network Bottlenecks
Network only as fast as slowest component Backplane contention Considerations: Top of rack switching Faster switches 10, 25, 40, 50, 100GB Graphic courtesy of Mellanix

16 Summary Role of IT is increasingly strategic
Balance corporate requirements with platform alternatives Speed of delivery will only continue to grow Lower latency Higher bandwidth speeds The important question: Can the network support what you want to do? Must eliminate contention/chokepoints Internal and external Failure to do so will result in: Ineffective operation Customer dissatisfaction Must find partners agile enough to quickly adapt

17 Thank you Chris Crosby, CEO, Compass Datacenters
