Building the foundation for new deployments
Often, application and server teams deploy new technologies such as virtualization, cloud computing, and data center consolidation with little or no input from the network team. These deployments add new layer of complexity and place additional demands and burdens on the underlying infrastructure.
Managing a fairly stable and consistent network is hard enough, but taming new dynamic and complex environments requires a standard, reliable, and optimally configured network. As flexibility is added for a virtualized environment, a solid understanding of the network infrastructure and configurations becomes paramount, especially in the new distributed environment.
For example, when users can easily move and plug into an available port, how do you know which port is a single user, a single server, or a massive virtualized blade server?
There are several key steps for taming the new challenges tied with virtualization:
- Ensuring a standardized network architecture
- Understanding the impact of change on network health
- Deploying, managing and optimizing device configurations
- Building and maintaining a strong foundation for new deployments
