Abstract
This IBM Redbooks publication is an IBM and Cisco collaboration that articulates how IBM and Cisco can bring the benefits of their respective companies to the modern data center.
It documents the architectures, solutions and benefits that can be achieved by implementing a data center based on IBM server, storage and integrated systems, with the broader Cisco network.
We describe how to design a state-of-the art data center and networking infrastructure combining Cisco and IBM solutions. The objective is to provide a reference guide for customers looking to build an infrastructure that is optimized for virtualization, is highly available, interoperable, and is efficient in terms of power and space consumption. It will explain the technologies used to build the infrastructure, provide use cases and guidance on deployments

Chapter 3. Designing Networks for the Modern Data Center
IBM Internal 8
A PoD is a physical, modular building block in a Data Center with the following characteristics: Collection of cabinets with a
common set of network equipment Server and network hardware are
co-resident in the same PoD Network functionality is typically
Layer 2 only in the form of network access/aggregation
Cabinets in the PoD are typically contiguous but are not limited to this due to special site characteristics
All server NIC to network port connections stay within the PoD to optimize cabling
All PoDs are connected to a Data Center Network Core
