Lucien Avramov, TME;Design considerations;;Integration with Enterprise architecture – essential pathway for data flow Architecture Consistency Management Risk-assurance Enterprise grade features Consistent Operational Model NxOS, CLI, Fault Behavior and Management Though higher BW east-west compared to traditional transactional networks Over the time it will have multi-user, multi-workload behavior Need enterprise centric features Security, SLA, QoS etc. Big Data is just another apps ;Trade Flow Example;12-20 servers per exchange feed;24 servers per feed;;;;;;Twinax QSFP+ to SFP+ Octopus 1m/3m/5m;;;;Nexus 3548 Avg Latency: Normal Mode- ~250 nsec WARP Mode - ~190 nsec NAT/ACL - No Latency Penalty WARP SPAN - ~50 nsec;Spirent report available at : /go/nexus3548 ;;;;;;;;;;;Market/Competitive Landscape 40Gb/10Gb Market Direction Arista 7150S The Merchant Silicon Market InfiniBand (IB) Technologies Added Value vs. Price dilemma ;;;;Currently shipping 7150s-24 2x less ports (vs. 7150s-24) 2x less buffers 2x higher latency 2x higher jitter 2x NAT latency impact 20% more power 10% latency increase with load ;What’s left to say? Over 8 ports, latency of 3548 is 1usec or higher *high* jitter on 3548 (repeat of 04/2011 – anti trident campaign) We have hardware PTP (??) Cisco Buffer monitoring does not detect microburst (it does ns) ‘Cisco delivery of roadmap features is slow for niche products’ ‘Don’t be tricked by Cisco slick marketing’ ‘We have the best product and team’;Deliver facts and data relevant to the business. Educate the customer on the big picture or full “solution.” Positive attitude with confidence. Education on technology and tangible facts. Remind of Cisco’s commitment (and Roadmap) to continue to solutions the financials require. Arista is focused on general DC, no longer just financials (Arista’s largest customer is not a financial). Empower technologists with business relevance of the features they are delivering, if they are not already aware.
