This is where Azure ExpressRoute lets XYZ Account create private connections between Azure

datacenters and XYZ Account infrastructure on or off premises.

ExpressRoute connections don't go over the public Internet. They offer more reliability, faster

speeds, and lower latencies, and higher security than typical Internet connections.

XYZ Account can transfer data between on-premises systems and Azure can yield significant

cost benefits.

This is where Azure ExpressRoute lets XYZ Account create private connections between Azure

datacenters and XYZ Account infrastructure on or off premises.

ExpressRoute connections don't go over the public Internet. They offer more reliability, faster

speeds, and lower latencies, and higher security than typical Internet connections.

XYZ Account can transfer data between on-premises systems and Azure can yield significant

cost benefits.

XYZ Account can establishing connections to Azure at an ExpressRoute location, such as an

Exchange provider facility, or directly connect to Azure from your existing WAN network, such as

a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) VPN, provided by a network service provider

Microsoft Assure (Control Plane)

Cloud The key impact of this model

for the customer is a move from

managing physical servers to focus on

logical management of data storage

through policies.

Overlay Control

The XYZ Account the VxLan forwarding plane for NSX control:

This is where logical switches span across physical hosts and network switches. Application

continuity is delivered with scale. Scalable Multi-tenancy across data center.

Enabling L2 over L3 Infrastructure - Pool resources from multiple data centers with the ability to

recover from disasters faster.

Address Network Sprawl with an VXLAN overlay. Deeper Integration with infrastructure and

operations partners, integrations, and frameworks for IT organizations.

each server to those switches.

Fewer Hops between Servers - The important

thing is that each server is precisely one hop

Fat-Tree

Clos / Cross-Bar

Traditional 3-tier model (Less cabling).

Link speeds must increase at every hop (Less

predictable latency).

Common in Chassis based architectures (Optimized

for North/South traffic).

Every Leaf is connected to every Spine (Efficient

utilization/ Very predictable latency).

Always two hops to any leaf (More resiliency,

flexibility and performance).

Friendlier to east/west traffic (The uplink to the

rest of the network is just another leaf).

The XYZ Account handshake layer:

This is where convergence needs to happen LAN/SAN, FCoE, ETS. Stop or allow

whatever you can (Efficient Multicasting).

Virtualization happens with VXLAN and VMotion (Control by the overlay).

N plus one fabric design needs to happen here (Delivers simple no vanity future proofing,

No-forklift migrations, interop between vendors and hit-less operation).

This is where,

a Fabric outperforms the Big Uglies

This is where low latency is critical, switch as quickly as you can. DO NOT slow down

Elastic Capacity - Today s XYZ Account s spines are tomorrow s leafs. Dial-in the

bandwidth to your specific needs with the number of uplinks.

Availability - the state of the network is kept in each switch; no single point of failure.

This is where XYZ Account must first it must have the ability to scale with customer demand,

delivering more than just disk space and processors.

Scale XYZ Account must have be able the to seamlessly failover, scale up, scaled down and

optimize management of the applications and services.

Flexibility - The infrastructure XYZ Account must have the ability to host heterogeneous and

interoperable technologies.

Business - The business model costs might be optimized for operating expenses or towards

capital investment.

This is where Azure ExpressRoute lets XYZ Account create private connections between Azure

datacenters and XYZ Account infrastructure on or off premises.

ExpressRoute connections don't go over the public Internet. They offer more reliability, faster

speeds, and lower latencies, and higher security than typical Internet connections.

XYZ Account can transfer data between on-premises systems and Azure can yield significant

cost benefits.

XYZ Account can establishing connections to Azure at an ExpressRoute location, such as an

Exchange provider facility, or directly connect to Azure from your existing WAN network, such as

a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) VPN, provided by a network service provider

This is where, XYZ Account can reduce OPEX and

leverage a repeatable solution.

With the spline setup, XYZ Account can put

redundant switches in the middle and link

each server to those switches.

Fewer Hops between Servers - The important

thing is that each server is precisely one hop

from any other server.

Avoid Stranded ports Designs often have a

mix of fat and skinny nodes. If XYZ Account

configurations might have anywhere from 16
