Evolution of the Data CenterOnce, Campus-class was good enough
Racked Servers
What this meant:
– Most traffic traverses multiple Switch hops – Access / Core / ToR / Core / Access
– Uplinks more important than cross-rack capacity
Traditionally:The North-South to East-West ratio has been 80:20
Top-of-RackSwitches

Delivering the Cloud-grade differenceAvaya VENA Distributed Top-of-Rack
Now this means:
– Server-to-Server, Rack-to-Rack traffic dramatically increases
– Inter-Rack capacity is now crucial
– Traditional designs introduce significant latency and degrade application performance
The future:East-West traffic will dominate Data Center traffic* – ‘the new 80%’
Top-of-RackSwitches
Avaya delivers the industry’s only low-latency Distributed ToR solution
Alternatives introduce latency & congestion, additional equipment, consume more ports
