Rackcorp, a global provider of dedicated servers, virtual servers and cloud hosting headquarters in Sydney, Australia , began the transition their data center operations to a new network foundation based on advanced Ethernet fabric infrastructure of Brocade (NASDAQ: CIO).
The Sydney-based company, which operates out of 21 data centers in nine countries , adopted the Network Software-Defined (NRS) of the Brocade VDX family capable of switches and VCS Fabric technology to meet the high availability and increasingly high bandwidth requirements of its global customer base
with the help of Brocade planning of architecture, the first fabric deployments were made RackCorp data centers in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, Australia, and Hong Kong to support dedicated server, virtual server, cloud hosting services. RackCorp continue to deploy Brocade VDX switches through its global network of data centers.
Brocade VDX
"We have a renewed focus on the data network market volume and we need to step up to meet high volume" said RackCorp director and director of network operations, Stephen Dendtler . "This means moving to a foot 10 GbE with Brocade Ethernet fabric solution. We probably underestimated the significant advantages of Brocade technology and now have a greater appreciation of how it's easier to add more switching capacity and capabilities of cloud-centric ".
"As it is essentially plug-and-play, this will be a significant benefit to RackCorp go ahead as we scale our network and it will also give us the ability to provide more complex customer solutions automated way, " added Dendtler .
the Brocade VDX 6710 switches above the server racks each provide 48 low-latency ports at wire-speed 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) access, with six 10 GbE ports available for uplink to support virtual server guests to broadband. the Brocade VDX 6740 switches provide 10GbE connectivity between the rack top switches, data center routers and Internet transits upstream with technology fabric VCS combining all Brocade devices in an automated, efficient, highly available, and tissue VM-aware network.
capacity RPS
RPS Brocade VDX switches capacities were a key factor in the decision to RackCorp. The company was running an internally developed NRS system since 04 to automate network operations in Australia. Dendtler said that since the new Brocade switches have been integrated into the existing network, time to propagate configuration changes increased from seconds to milliseconds.
"There is much discussion in the market about RPS, but much less productive use of technology to date," said Gary Denman, Senior Director for Australia and New Zealand, Brocade . "The deployment of RackCorp fabric Brocade VCS shows the Brocade RPS implementation is mature enough to support dynamic 24 × 7software-as-a-service capabilities, with millions of dollars per hour are processed by financial services customers .
