BEST PRACTICES FOR A DELL EMC ISILON LEAF SPINE NETWORK

June 30, 2019

For over a decade, Dell EMC Isilon scale-out NAS nodes have been using InfiniBand switches as the private network for the backend intra-cluster node to node communication. The OneFS 8.1 operating system introduced the use of Ethernet switches for the backend node to node communication. Further, OneFS 8.1.1 introduced a choice of Dell Ethernet switches for the backend to simplify configurations and provide a Dell-on-Dell solution. With the introduction of OneFS 8.1, we announced support for two primary Dell Ethernet switches serving Isilon’s backend network as a Top of the Rack (ToR). These two switches that support ToR are the S4148 and the Z9100. Only a “flat” configuration for a backend InfiniBand or Ethernet switch or chassis was supported prior to OneFS 8.2. Next-gen multirack data center solutions require performance, scale and capacity to drive new and demanding workloads and a leaf spine backend network architecture facilitates much larger deployments.
